Le Guinn's Hannish Cycle is special - it reads like high fantasy, but it's science fiction. Really special writing that transports you to a simple story.
That said this book, is the least memorable of the Hannish Cycle - and also there is a weird amount of old man horniness - the kind that would make uncomfortable if this was written Heinlein, but is kind of Ok for Le Guinn.
To be clear you can't skip this book - it is important to the Hannish Cycle - and I clearly found it engaging enough to finish in a day.
