I enjoyed this a 4.5 star amount, but it's clear Le Guin was afraid to really push the bounds of world building so early in her career, and as a result the setting is underwhelming.

3.5 / 5 🌟
Solid “fantasy disguised as sci-fi” novel. No one does it like Le Guin. I’m enjoying my journey through the Hainish Cycle.
