I've missed Tenar, and I really enjoyed the non-magical side of this book! The constant worries about the child, the sickness of the elderly, it was all feminist in a way I wasn't expecting. That being said, I hate the misogyny, and while I understand it's role in the story I especially hated the last action scene for the way Tenar was treated.
