A review by lory_enterenchanted
Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin

adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense

4.0

I'm reading through the Earthsea books in their new Folio Society editions. This one is as beautiful and thoughtful and rich as the others. When it first came out, I was a bit dismayed at the change in direction for Tenar--I wanted more magic. Now, a mother myself, I understand her journey better and honor her wisdom. The final chapter is harrowing and brilliant.
