I found the plot of this one more engaging than in Rocannon's World. I also liked some themes that came up in this one but wished they had been explored more, like the relations between the two different species and the prejudices they had towards each other

Shower than some, less exciting. Still, Ursula did a great job showing you a pivotal moment of an alien race in exile on a strange planet

The world-building of the cycle of the planet taking 600 years was pretty cool. Other than that worldbuilding, I didn't really like anything else. It was fine, confusing, or boring. This was short but was a slog to get through.
