10 months agoI just finished The Left Hand of Darkness today. Definitely a book that will stay with me for a while—the descriptions of travel on the Ice, the subtle way the narration reveals the Envoy’s own biases, nusuth and the mistranslation of it! It’s one of the most beautifully crafted novels I’ve ever read
I think those movies are some of the best examples of how a great adaptation is not necessarily one that copies every scene word for word. Books and movies can do different things well, especially in terms of pacing, and it’s one of the few series where I love the books and movies equally.
