Part of me wishes it was longer, but I appreciate the way it ends and the things left unsaid and questions left unanswered. It really feels like

a new beginning for the people of Shantih, with all the good and bad that comes with that.

I love the world, though, and would happily spend more time in it. You know Le Guin is the GOAT when one of the most engaging and memorable parts is the description of a tree's life cycle, and that's in a book under 200 pages long!
