frasersimons 's review for:
Tehanu
by Ursula K. Le Guin
It took me a bit to acclimate to how different this story is but once I did I think I appreciate it more. There is a heavy depth and exploration I’ve not seen in fantasy in this; steeped in a perspective never quite articulated and unkempt. There are many questions and little definitive answers and I enjoyed discovering Tehanu and Tenar.
Ged is more realized and more manly, truly growing up. Bow that he is “empty”, he can fill himself with something more substantial or substantive than this wizardly power that possessed his life. This is no “and then they lived happily ever after”, yet is some of that. Instead there is a joy in discovering the magic of being with and giving yourself to someone else, as well as the pleasure of a hard days work.
I may like it the most so far, as I make my way through all these stories.
