raefkazi's review against another edition
5.0
A monumental work.
The chapters alternate between 2 different worlds. A testament to the writing that each time a chapter ended I was almost sad to start the next one because I wanted to continue living in the world of the previous chapter, but that feeling didn't last longer than a page into the new one.

slow-paced
I can’t tell you a single thing that happened in this book.
I’m not too insecure to admit that le guin may just be too smart for me.

Still don't know what exactly to say about this book, but it was an interesting exploration of the implications of how different societies both shape and are shaped by the people who participate in them.
I'm gonna ruminate on it for a little bit and then later do a more thorough review.
