The book is most excellent of course. I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 because the narration is terrible, mumbly, the narrator sounds winded at times, I had difficulty understanding at times.

Great in themes but could have been more tight and with more distinct narrative voices

It's a good and interesting book! But I would not say "beginner friendly". I had lots of trouble following it because I'm not used to fantasy names. It took me to almost the end to follow. But I'm sure that someone who is more used to it, would find it a page turner.

I love Ursula K LeGuin’s books!! But this narrator ruined the book…. He doesn’t speak clear, has a monotone, over-aged voice, very flat tone and pronunciation. I am quite disappointed, Ursula’s book deserves better
