I only don't give this a 5 because I was a bit irritated by some of the inconsistent naming conventions/ unbelievable names. Otherwise, it's some of the best in the genre, which is especially amazing considering it's also seminal in the genre. Comforting, warm, and the language is beautiful.

It has been a really long time since I've read any fantasy book (it used to be my most read genre during my teenage years), so I started reading with very few expectations and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised.

I really liked Le Guin's writing style and worldbuilding. Most of all, I really appreciated how she subtly but effectively wove the different themes into the main character's coming of age story. 

I look forward to slowly making my way through the entire series.
