Usual LeGuin. Excellent writing and world building. Can be a bit slow sometimes. 

Tää ei vaan ollut mua varten. Oli tosi vaikea päästä tarinaan mukaan, kun kieli tuntui jotenkin liian tekniseltä ja vaikeasti hahmotettavalta.

Me encanta que se nota que la autora tenía conocimiento de teorías antropológicas y sociológicas. Es una buena historia, solo un poco complicada de seguir por todos los nombres y lugares.

This was a nice soothing read for me. It's very adventure-focused, with not much additional depth, but it was a nice fun read, and helped me start to come out of my reading slump. I liked the world-building a lot, and thought it was fun that there was an almost fairy tale-esque feel to some portions of this story. I enjoyed this one enough that I moved on to the second book in the series right away.
