This reminded me a lot of Invisible Cities. I enjoyed it, but not my favorite book by LeGuin I've ever read.
I'd recommend it if you are interested in fantasy world-building, where it is wonderful.
An eclectic but surprisingly coherent collection of “extra-planar” tales, blending unique and at times nearly incomprehensible cultures that stretch the definition of what it means to be human way beyond the typical borders. Amazing that such differences in humanity could be written by a single author and collected in a single volume. Although this is Le Guin, after all, so I suppose I should not have been too surprised.
