This was decent. I like the expansive world and the magic, but the narrative didn't quite captivate me, nor did the main character until the end. I just didn't feel as immersed as I hoped to. Something about Le Guin's writing may be a factor in this; I'm not completely sure. I guess I was just expecting more considering how highly regarded the series is. But I will certainly finish the series.
