The story is well written and generally compelling. However, it is a retelling of the Aeneid from a new perspective and so lacks much tension, urgency, or intrigue. The meta textual elements are also quite boring and forced. It’s still enjoyable but unless you’re super into the Aeneid probably not worth reading compared with Le Guin’s other works
