I will forever admire and envy Mrs. Le Guin, not just for her great skill in her prose but her ability to make her stories of such grand, epic scale so quiet and introspective as to almost pass by in a whisper. It features - among other things - the fate of the world as if it's scarcely decoration, and is made better for it. It is a remarkable feat indeed to be so dense with philosophy, so packed with adventure which passes as if it's but a simple road trip, and which captivates the whole way through. I am in awe.

I really have a hard time connecting to the characters and the magic in this world. It feels so great strong man of the story typed and when I keep trying to find myself connecting to the fantastical and magical it feels dogmatic and stuffy. What really caught my attention was getting to the dry lands and the existential feelings of mortality. Love me a speaking dragon.

Well written and interesting world building and characters. But I didn't find the plot that exciting, and it didn't feel like it really built to a satisfying conclusion as much as I would have liked
