B. Calahan’s Reviews > Earthsea: The First Four Books > Status Update

On the last book, Tehanu. This is both so thought provoking and striking a chord in me as a women, but also sad because of the nature of life as a women and seeing it written out. Also, GED & TENAR????? YESSSS I called it when he thought to show her herself when she asked for something beautiful in the Tombs. 25 years and counting… I love them.

I’m in The Farthest Shore right now, haven’t been updating my thoughts in Goodreads as I’m actually tabbing the book. These stories and Le Guin’s writing is so universal and timeless, an easier and more entertaining read than LotRs I might say. The stories are definitely quicker, since they’re less length, but each has their own unique message and immersion. The wood of Earthsea is spectacular and so real.

A crime against humanity— they killed otak. I have no words, only tears. I will never get over this.
