hopela 's review for:

4.0

I struggled to get into this book for about the first quarter of it. It’s much more philosophical than the plot-driven sci-fi I’ve been reading lately. But once I slowed down and started reading more for the ideas than the plot, I enjoyed it a lot more.

Very cool to see such a rich exploration of an anarchist society, and its comparison to a world which still accurately reflects our own. Le Guin has a great, subtle way of drawing the reader to the beauty of Annares society by exploring all its flaws and darkness.
