Pros & Cons
Cons
For readers who enjoy intimacy between characters, this has none. For every sentence of action, there would be 1-2 pages of bland description. The word for world is forest was awful.
Highlights
Quality
They appear to be at the top of their food chain and resources are so plentiful that war has never seemed necessary
The athsheans are endearing and adorable more adorable than ewoks and it makes their treatment all the more difficult to stomach
Nicknamed creechies these little people are recognized as intelligent kind and even as bona fide humans — and still they are trash
The story is pretty standard but the complex world she created as a setting is pretty amazing
Shipping
Got to my house in a day with prime
Competitiveness
Ive seen this 1976 novella compared to the james camerons avatar but that film feels like an optimistic disneyfied adaptation
Theyre kind of dated they said le guins later work is much better these are far too simple et cetera

Because if this had been my first experience with le guin if i had just picked this up off the shelf and jumped right in cold i think i would have given up before the end of the first chapter i would have written it off as the worst kind of indulgent heartless goldenage claptrap we typically only see these days in parody
