The book struck me, in some ways, as a revisitation of earlier worlds and themes, but through a slightly different perspective--sort of a palimpsest, with other books of the Ekumen/Hainish cycle showing through in parts. (That could be because I've been reading them all in fairly quick succession, of course.) It's also got some almost mystical touches that suggest a more relaxed approach to internal logic and structure. I have the feeling that as soon as I finish reading all these books I'm going to want to re-read them all right away!
