I was so excited to find an Ursula Le Guin book at the library that I hadn't read. This novel was... I can't decide. Very compelling, but very dark. I feel like I had more questions after finishing the book than I did before. The heroes triumphed and defeated the monster, but what was the price? Why was the monster there to begin with? What was the twilight world really? I feel that Le Guin was playing with a lot of symbolism and fairy-tale tropes in this book, and I don't know that I really understood. Was any of it real?

Not my favorite of Le Guin's, but I'm glad I read it. Worth tracking down for the hardcore fan.
