Planet of Exile

I vaguely remember reading The Left Hand of Darkness and thought this might be a continuation but looking at Goodread's series page, this is not the case. It's set in the same universe but not related at all.

Ignoring this confusion, the first bit of the book is world building and a bit of character building, not much going on but then the storyline comes in and you get to see the interactions between individuals and groups.

A good story that's worth a read but not the mind bender [for me] that Left Hand was.
