I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Le Guin is unparalleled. Tehanu is phenomenal, almost mythological in its implications, and I truly think it’s one of the best in the series. I love it.

Ursula is a master of characterization (and just writing in general really), and this work really showcases that. Tenar feels so real, so complex, her inner toughts and her often conflicting emotions are incredibly well refined, in a way that just allows the reader to deeply connect with her and care about her life and her relationships. It’s honestly incredible to experience.
