ellar_pfalz 's review for:
Tehanu
by Ursula K. Le Guin
Really great continuation, though it took a very different approach to Earthsea than we'd seen before and deals with some more mature themes than I expected from the series (violence, particularly against women and children).
It's definitely a story told by and about women, though, which was startling because of the heavily masculine characters from the previous books, but was definitely needed in order to paint the full picture of the world and continue one of my favorite characters stories, Tenar, who is just plucked off the narrative after The Tombs of Atuan, two books ago.
I debated whether or not to give it four stars because of some of the things in the book, like the violence, but I literally read this in like two days straight, and that isn't normal for me anymore. I'm taking that as a good sign
