Unexpectedly hopeful end to that... seems almost like false optimism with the whole last-second insane creatures of Winter reveal but theyve lasted 600 years theyll be fineee.

no way, an unhuman creature that comes out when winter comes. Where Have I seen This Before?

I like that the names of stuff the stranded humans have are like fucked versions of english. Erkar is probably air car, thiatr is probably theatre. Interesting that the place they all sleep in is the thiatr tho. maybe thiatr is the atrium??

"metal reed with a flower on top which you turned to make water run out of the reed" is the prettiest description of a faucet ive read

Space cultural embargo is lowkey insane

paragraph right after says its earth years oops

There is no fucking way they went 600 Years (Or is it normal years here?) without learning how to use wheels

I expect the winds of winter to be as gloomy as this chapter. Winter comes, the first guy that dies, dies from his kinsman, his brother. Infighting before the war even reaches them

one thing about le guin is youll feel the COLD of alien worlds

Winter coming, long seasons, a great unified enemy, Where have I seenthis before
