The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0

The Tombs of Atuan is definitely an improvement on the formula that Le Guin established in A Wizard of Earthsea. I found the protagonist to be a more interesting character to follow than Ged and the overall narrative more interesting. Still, while Earthsea was YA before YA I can’t help but feel that the writing is overly simple and the world and characters too uncomplicated for my personal taste. Four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
