I love that Le Guin took the time to tell a story from the common folks with common problems. Also the way trauma is talked about is absolutely incredible in the way it effects the characters in their lives.

Le Guin’s writing in this series is poetic. The style reminds me of Beowulf: the Story is more important than the plot or the characters (although the plot and characters are certainly there).
