It's a story. More fantasy than science-fiction. I had a time piecing together what the events in the first part of the book actually meant with regards to the story. I had to read someone else's synopsis to then realize, "oh! That's what happened!" I'm glad I'm starting here with Le Guin. Her works can only get better, I assume.
I plan on reading more of the Hainish to at least get to the book I'd purchased first, The Left Hand of Darkness.
Contains spoilers
I couldn't really get interested in the story, the interactions between characters, the species, the world. And what's with the sprint on the last 2 pages of the book? Why not get the pace going a bit sooner?
