"Dispossed", "Left Hand of Darkness" and "Strangers" (by Gardner Dozois) are about the same icy word. And I cant remember which is which, except Strangers is the creepiest. I do not cry, but Liraun's final words pain me so much that I cant breathe.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll read “Strangers”. I liked “Dispossessed” and “The Left Hand of Darkness”, specially the later. I have to ask - which “icy word” you mean?... :)
As I said I cant really remember which is which. Or maybe the Dispossed was about two worlds and only the other one was hostile and cold?

The Left Hand of Darkness takes place on a very cold world. The Dispossessed takes place on a pretty normal seeming world and its somewhat less hospitable moon.
Oh you mean “icy world”? With an L. You wrote “word”. Yeah, The Left Hand... is the one in a frozen planet. Great book.
