LeGuinn in general has a problem where she does a lot of slow world building and the “can’t put it down” part is pretty late. I started with LHoD and felt for a lot of it like I must not jive with her style, but then it hit and I not only couldn’t put it down I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I’ve learned I need to be ready to slog a bit when I start her books despite loving them
Keep going, it will grab you when it grabs you
I loved it and couldn’t put it down, but you’ve gotta be in the mood for it as it is. I think it’s best not to think of it as grimdark, but as basic humanity as an act of rebellion, and catholic traumacore.
Harrow on the other hand is probably the best book I’ve ever read despite it being crazy difficult to read.

4·1 day agoIn this case imagine if evil corp hired you to take care of puppies with no nefarious purposes but they will mistreat you. National Parks are a point of pride in America similar to the NHS in the UK. These workers are helping preserve the natural beauty we set aside as protected in the throes of industrialization resulting in treasures we by and large cherish. They’re also helping to ensure visitors can enjoy them and that they survive it. It’s a higher calling and a life passion to many. And they know that damage done in their absence may be irreversible or very slow to be undone.
