Beautifully written, Leguin's descriptions are always evocative in the best way, able to link the vastness of nature with the most intimate and human experiences. The themes of self-hood and consciousness are explored briefly but interestingly. The characters and their relationships, despite only existing for a handful of pages are realistic and well developed enough, as is the world building.
