I enjoyed getting to follow what feels like a complete journey of a character, while also leading well into the next book that continues that journey. I also really enjoyed the afterword of Le Guin's thoughts when writing out the book, especially in regards to racial diversity, but I also wish that there had been more proper representation for women in it. Regardless, though I'm not as used to the slow pace, I think this series will be good to try to get my attention span back under control.
