A review by hopebrasfield
The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin

5.0

“All spoke to her with elaborate deference. But nothing had changed. Nothing happened. Once the ceremonies of her consecration were over, the days went on as they had always gone.

UKLG is so good at capturing these sort of, “wow you sure do sound like a selfish brat, don’t you” moments we hide away in our heads. I love it.
