a great classic fantasy novel. it’s got a complex and interesting world. amazing characters with nuanced psychologies. and it does all this in such a short span of time. this does however contribute to its one weakness. because it is so short it is a difficult read and you *i* missed things the first time round. i had to reread several pages. le guin was able to tell this intimate personal story but embedded in this large fantasy world. you get invested in geds story. it feels like you are on one of those epic journeys but again you are following a very intimate story.
