A truly remarkable book. It’s not really fantasy at all, but a philosophical musing on society and what it means to be a woman, merely set in a fantasy world.
I LOVE Tenar, she’s one of the most well developed characters I’ve read in a long time, and her relationship with Ged and Therru utterly beautiful and raw and real.
This book does not shy away from the darker themes and the more difficult conversations and I thank it for that. Definitely one that requires a reread somewhere down the line.
Some of Le Guin’s absolute best work.
