tortleslynn 's review for:
Tehanu
by Ursula K. Le Guin
The story of earthsea has had a strange effect on me. I first watched the (sorry) poor adaptation by studio ghibli in which I wasn’t able to make any sense of the story. After seeing it, I was driven to curiosity to make some sense of the story.
Although I did not relate to Ged and found him at times a frustrating protagonist, I adored Tenar and Therru. This was a fascinating end to a great story in a difficult world. I wanted the world to be less harsh than reality, but instead I found it to be an open critique of the cruelty we try to hide.
The concept of freedom not only without but from power really resonated with me. It was a wonderful end to the story and I’m glad I stuck it out.
