4.0

The only reason this book doesn't get a 5 star review from me is because I sometimes found the narrative difficult to follow. I thought this book was mind-blowing. le Guin writes timelessly about environmental issues, human anxieties and the power of dreams. Not one of le Guin's best imo, but certainly worth the read, it's fairly short and most parts read pretty quickly.
