Ursularen zale bezala, agian ez da kritika oso objektiboa, eh! ;) Asko gustatu zait, asko. Ipuin xehea dirudi, eta Omelasera egiten digu gonbita Leguinek. Dena al da benetan hain polita? Lor al daiteke horrelako gizarterik? Hori pentsatzen hasten zarenerako badu Ursulak bere infrenzua... uffff... Erraz irakurri, baina asko pentsarazten duen ipuina. Eta Nordicakoek ateratako edizioa ere txukun-txukuna, marrazki ederrekin lagundurik.
