“What cannot be mended must be transcended.” Where do I even begin? Every chapter of this book brought me close to tears. It took Le Guin 18 years to write this one after Farthest Shore, and I can absolutely tell. I love the way Tenar’s story is developed and how she has grown from when we first meet her in Tombs and throughout Tehanu. I love Ged as always. And little Therru breaks my heart. I appreciate the book’s handling of child abuse and sexual assault and gender so much. Definitely my favorite out of the Earthsea cycle so far.
Graphic: Child abuse and Misogyny
Moderate: Sexual assault and Sexual harassment
