Wow we finished the book! and it didn't take that long too! well I'm really surprised i actually really did enjoy this book. I'm still a little confused about why Le Guin would chose a title for this story. i mean yes there is the and it gives you a idea of where it came from, but i mean why that line? why only left side and it having to be darkness? Is it portraying genry or estraven? is it talking about how that world is the yin to our yang? The possibilities are endless, and I'm not sure, in my group today, we ever came up with a solid answer.
I think the last chapter was a good ending. we got to finally see what our minds were always wondering about, or well what my mind was wondering about. i always wanted to know if estraven had a special relationship with his brother. And that was the reason why he had to be exiled from his homeland and his brother died. Its a good parallel to chapter 2. it talked about the two brothers and how they had incest and then a child. So i guess chapter two was a foreshadow or was there to tell us the truth. i really was happy though when i found out estraven had a son with his brother though. that is because there was like a little part left of him after he died. his son (not from Ashe) seemed mad at estraven for begin exiled from the land and was branded a trator. but i thought it was cute that he forgave estraven right after genry told him that argaven was going to take back the traitor title on estraven. Also right after he asked about the other worlds and estraven which means he must have been curious about his father and is like estraven in a way that he also found other worlds interesting.
all in all it is always sad to read to the end of a book but at least it didn't end in a cliffhanger cause that would be a bust. =]
