WOW - this is absolutely spectacular!! I listened to this on audio and my immediate thought was, "He must also be a poet!" He is and it shows - his writing is just so beautiful.
This book also made me want to watch basketball which very few things do since I know very little about it. His passion for it is infectious!
I'd recommend this to anyone, especially anyone from the Midwest, anyone who has felt like an underdog, and anyone who likes - or is curious about - sports.
Oh and shout out to Renata for pestering me (lovingly) to read it!

Despite it taking me forever to read because of . . . the horrors . . . I really enjoyed this! Ren and Sunho's romance is a little insta-love but it still worked. It did take me waaaaaayyyy too long to figure out the geography but it's a nice folklore-inspired fantasy!

As a kid, I was a big fan of The Wizard of Earthsea series (the Tombs of Atuan being the best, of course) but hadn't really read too much of her adult work. I think I tried to start this or The Left Hand of Darkness in high school and couldn't quite grasp either. The Left Hand of Darkness destroyed me emotionally when I read it recently and I may never recover -Ai and Estraven! Ah! - and now, I'm not sure I will stop thinking about this book.
"We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words." - Le Guin, Speech in Acceptance of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters
ALSO: Shevek and Takver are couple goals and I love their family.

The super fun and yet sometimes sort of deep space opera I needed. More Sissix please!
2025 re-read: when things get tough I turn to re-reading and I’ve been doing a lot of re-reading this year. This is such a wonderful series and it’s just what I needed: a warm hug, an encouraging word, a family.
