Tehanu
by Ursula K. Le Guin
What a beautiful, sad, layered book. It was both satisfying and heartbreaking to see Tenar and Ged in this new phase of their story, when they are both so wise and yet so powerless. Therru has no voice of her own until the end of the book, but she is the character you're drawn to most, all the while suspecting her true identity without being quite sure. The commentary on "women's power" is skillfully done, shown through Tenar's internal struggle and personal despair, yet there is a sense of hope and change at the end of the story. Really wonderful.
