3.0

An interesting academic exercise. This felt like Le Guin taking a stab at the textbook writing that Tolkein modeled in the world of fantasy and such things. I feel like there were things that were lost in the shuffle but it is a nice thought exercise. I would recommend this as a bedside reader to have over several months but it was kind of a bummer to read this as a book club book with a deadline. Also, it does seem appropriative of native cultures as a vague return to nature ideal.
