The last half of the book is easily five stars with the brilliant wisdom LeGuin brings to all of her stories, but (at least for me) it took a while for the plot to get moving.

Nothing new or original to say about this one. Embodies creativity and imagination in every sense. Just an immensely interesting world and compelling story.
