Great book, really enjoyed it. Well written characters, a linear plot that still catches you by surprise. I'm really glad I read the first 3 books of the series to fully appreciate this one.

love being in this world with tenar ❤️ le guin is so precise in how she unpicks how patriarchy is embedded in the society. definitely a step away from the first three books in a big way, but i really enjoy tenar as a middle-aged woman and what that means for her moving through the world.

I just love this book. I honestly don't think I have words in my vocabulary to describe how much. I need to learn more languages to express how much my soul sings with every re-read.
