Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin

reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Absolutely beautiful continuation of the Earthsea series and I'm very disappointed with myself at how long it took to get around to reading it. Ursula le Guin examines her work from two decades earlier, picks it apart, and makes it about the fierce and bright internal lives of women, and it's perfect.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Sexism, Child abuse, and Physical abuse

Moderate: Ableism, Blood, Pedophilia, and Incest

One of the major themes of the book is the main character raising a child who has been badly physically

and it is implied sexually, although never described or addressed in detail

abused by her family of origin.
