I loved this book. It was a story of the conflict of clashing civilizations told through the eyes of the people. The main characters were fun to read and the setting was interesting.

Another excellent Le Guin Hainish novel. Terms to remember the book: Alterran, Gaals, Wold, winter, exile, Lindon. Took one star off because I thought that she could have given us a better window into the Gaals.
Hainli Döngüsü 2. kitap da bitti. Kısacık, sürükleyici bir okuma serüveniydi.
Rolery ve Jacop Agat'ın aşkı etrafında destansı bir mücadele öyküsü... Okusanız seversiniz bence.

Le Guin's 2nd SF novel feels like an old school pulp novel plot-wise. Mildly disappointing because of a so-so plot and paper thin plot (although there is a strong female protagonist--something of a rarity in early Le Guin), but Le Guin's prose, as usual, is heads and shoulders over that of many of the SF writers of the mid 60s (and even now, now that I think of it.) One of Le Guin's strengths is her world building and her ability at that is on full display here.

Neither grief nor pride had so much truth in them as did joy, the joy that trembled in the cold wind between sky and sea, bright and brief as fire.
One of Le Guin's earliest novels, by length it's more of a novella. While her prose here doesn't reach her later heights, it is an interesting enough story that helps flesh out the Hainish universe.
