i love love the concept of this book but the aliens were just too much like it got sooo messy at the end. and was super confusing to get into at the beginning. glad i read it for booksoc. 3 stars because the middle was really good just let down by beginning and end !

Short, thought-provoking Le Guin. She's such an excellent author and this one is quite good.

Very much in the mid-century vein of ESP/psychic powers being a major theme. The worst LeGuin book I’ve read but still largely readable. Just not a super interesting premise.

¡Es un gran inicio en la aventura de Úrsula! La verdad es que me gustó mucho la escritura, la dinámica de los personajes, la historia.
