| ppint. 15th Nov 2017 | Rated 8/10ursula le guin returned to earthsea a decade and a half after finishing the trilogy, in part because of a fan's critical essay examining that excellent work; the results did not enthuse some of her readers, as it isn't a traditional heroic fantasy story involving flashing blades, dramatic dragons and whizz-bang sorcery - or even le guin's earlier, and rather more thoughtful, handling of these traditional tropes. but "tehanu" is an interesting and absorbing story, for all of its eschewing the obvious: a story of the strength of women in earthsea achieving what ged ultimately cannot, despite his cleverness, knowledge, and awesome power. a sequel to, and involving some of the characters from - but not a part of - the earthsea trilogy: #1: "a wizard of earthsea" (1968), q.v. for trilogy (& its sequels) listing and links. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
