I really don't know what to rate this one. This book leaves me with complicated feelings. It's darker, sadder, and more disturbing than the previous books by far. I can't agree with anything Tenar did with her life, to the point of anger and disappointment. Her and Ged's relationship is disappointing but I guess not surprising. Le Guin's afterword helped me settle some of the feelings I had to a manageable place, but I have too much anger at the injustice, as she has said, and found no justice in this book. At least Therru has come into herself at the end.
