I've missed Tenar, and I really enjoyed the non-magical side of this book! The constant worries about the child, the sickness of the elderly, it was all feminist in a way I wasn't expecting. That being said, I hate the misogyny, and while I understand it's role in the story I especially hated the last action scene for the way Tenar was treated.

Pretty great early masterpiece of feminist fantasy that has universal themes beyond gender. Its more of a reflective, quiet end for a saga, but its a worthy finale towards the world and its characters. 
But goes into some very hard topics of violence and child abuse. If youve struggle with these issues, I can imagine that this book will help you work through them, but its gonna be triggering for sure, so take it at your own pace. Youve got nothing to prove :)
