I  enjoyed this one until Ged shows up. Then he’s such a patronizing asshat I almost threw the book across the room several times. “Oh, Tenar, you’re free now—as long as you go exactly where I take you and do exactly what I say!” He treats Tenar as much like a treasure as he does the Ring, and it’s super gross.

I found it a bit of a letdown after A Wizard of Earthsea, but I'm glad that there is a fantasy classic about deprogramming someone in a death cult.
