by Ursula K. Le Guin, Stefan Rudnicki
4.5 starsReview coming when I stop crying.
The only book I ever read in this series was the Dispossessed. I realized that I should really read the rest in the series as well. I love all of the science fiction and fantasy old-fashioned '70s covers. They're so crazy.
This was Ursula Le Guin's first novel, one of the books in her Hainish series that includes the famous Left Hand of Darkness. It's not anywhere near as impressive as that book or the first three Earthsea books, classics in science fiction and fantasy--but you can see glimmers of their promise here. ...

First of the Hainish trilogy. I found the concept interesting and the characters quite likable, but I think the execution isn’t quite a strong as it could be.
