## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Collection
*by S***Y on December 8, 2016*

For many years, I avoided Ursula LeGuin, on the mistaken assumption that she was essentially a fantasy author, by virtue of her Wizard of Earthsea novels. It was not until later that I discovered her science fiction work and grew to enjoy it immensely. But LeGuin is not your prototypical science fiction (or it turns out, fantasy) author. She does not write space opera, but instead focuses on character development and human (or alien) interaction. You could label her work anthropological or sociological science fiction, with the fact that aliens, or space travel, or wizards are involved, becoming almost secondary.This collection of thirteen novellas (very close to short stories) is a perfect example of her writing. There may have been a couple of duds (most particularly Hernes and to a lesser degree Buffalo Gals), but by and large there is good stuff here.Four of the stories involve elements of her Hainish science fiction novels, featuring the planet Weres, where slavery is practiced. In this set of three stories, the reader is taken through a planetary and societal evolution in which slaves are first freed, only to see the women become cultural slaves. Again, only nominally science fiction, to the extent that we are dealing with an alien species in a different time and galaxy.Three other stories are set in the author’s Earthsea world, and while I am not a big fan of fantasy, like her science fiction, this fantasy is not heavy handed with extreme magic and fire breathing dragons. There is magic and there are dragons, but they are very subtly exercised or only mentioned in passing. The story is in the characters and their interaction.The final story, Paradise Lost, is the best in my opinion. Perhaps the most “science fiction” of the lot, it is set on a multi-generational, multi-ethnic starship as it approaches its destination. The story is outstanding as the author explores the various tensions and societal developments that can emerge in an isolated population, five generations removed from any knowledge or empathy for the civilization that launched their voyage; an excellent ending to a very nice collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Novella Collection  well worth the time to read
*by J***S on November 4, 2016*

Overall a very good value (kindle edition) and the stories were all very good. Some overlap with the short story collection (Buffalo Gals and The matter of Seggri). There is a four story series on a slave holding planet and the revolutions that take place --Forgiveness Day, A Man of the People, A Woman's liberation, and Old Music and the Slave Woman -- I recommend these be read in this order. Also the author seems to base the slave holding society on an English heritage model (UK, Canada, US, Australia etc). I am not sure her story would hold up in a more totalitarian model such as Mao's China or Stalin's Soviet Union. Never the less these are all very good stories that make you think. The other Novellas besides the six I mentioned already are Vaster than Empires and More Slow, Hernes, Another Story or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea, The finder, On the High Paradises Lost. These novellas introduce most of the concepts we see in Le Guin's other writings and novels -- though these seem to fill in and not repeat what is in the novels. I think this would be a good introduction to the authors writing style and topics she covers. A major beef I have is that the author did not include any introduction or short summary about the stories. She did this foe her recently released short story collection The Unreal and the Real which is also a great buy. All in all I highly recommend this novella collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ LeGuin Turns Out Another Excellent Collection
*by N***G on January 2, 2021*

Here is a collection of LeGuin's novellas from a 25 year period. There is a nice blend of sci-fi and fantasy here, with some from the Hainish world and others from Earthsea. My favorite was "Dragonfly," which is an Earthsea story that goes this way and that before a surprise ending.If you've read LeGuin's work before, you'll find her trademark focus on the social sciences and gender roles. Good stuff, and very enjoyable.
