4.5

This book feels like a prelude to a lot of the ideas Le Guin explores more deeply in The Dispossessed. A lot of thoughts on the concept of non-violence, power, and gender. I think it’s beautifully written book, though some of the conclusions I’m not sure if I agree with or made me need to think more deeply on.
