Ein guter Klassiker aus einer anderen Zeit. Le Guin bevölkert innerhalb dieses kurzen Werks eine ganze Welt, die so außerirdisch wirkt wie kaum ein Sci-Fi Universum. Langsam geschrieben und trotzdem mit einer durchziehenden Spannung. Kreativ und nicht derivativ!

Missing 0.25 of a star only because I remember finding it really difficult to grasp the names for the first half, especially in one of the interlude sections which made it kind of frustrating but other than that, this is amazing. It’s a sprawling, well-thought out masterclass in fantasy building. It was both so imaginative and believable!
