3.0

LeGuin’s writing style is still a delight, but the pacing felt really unbalanced: the beginning was slow and exposition-heavy, and then a bunch of things happened and the book ended at a weird point that left the heroine suspended between two plot arcs. Will definitely continue with the series, though, because I like the setting very much.
