... them deeply as an adult! I would also recommend Ursula K. Le Guin's first three Earthsea books (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore). The Tombs of Atuan is one of my all-time favorites. Oh! and you MUST check out the Attolian books by Megan Whalen Turne ...

... Earthsea Trilogy? I highly recommend it. Edited to add: It is comprised of these three titles:A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore.

... Burroughs.. which was funny. I read it in one sitting in borders and was giggling to myself through most of it. Tombs of Atuan by Ursula k LeGuin, re-reading her books that I loved when I was younger. Now I am reading Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris

... ) • Harry Potter (if I had to pick one, probably The Order of the Phoenix) • Watership Down by Richard Adams • The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. LeGuin • Ronia, the Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren Lots of YA fantasy mixed up in there too.

52. Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin The second book of the Earthsea Cycle introduces us to Tenar, The Eaten One, or the high priestess of the Nameless Ones. Tenar was selected at birth to hold this position and she loves to do so until the wizard Ged appears. Ged is there to rob ...

>112, 116, 118, Love finding fellow fans of The Tombs of Atuan specifically. Definitely the best, most interesting book of the Earthsea series. >116 and 118, I had mixed feelings about Tehanu. It was almost too real - seeing our heroes old and washed up was just too sad. Also, as ...

... though. I actually really disliked Tehanu. The storyline was weak and even Le Guin's usually deft writing seemed poor. The Tombs of Atuan is definitely the high point in that series, no question. How do your cockles like the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird, martin? Mine glow ...

... the ball rolling, here is something that doesn't match your description exactly, but has some elements that overlap it. The tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin. The protagonist was taken as a child to be the First Priestess - she had been born on the night of her predecessor's death. She ...

12: This would mean that something like A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore would be a trilogy, but The Lord of the Rings is just one story in three books. Makes sense to me.

Kaionvin: If you didn't like the treatment of gender in A Wizard of Earthsea you'll probably like it even less in The Tombs of Atuan. That said, I wouldn't write off the entire series. Le Guin wrote the 4th and subsequent books some 20 years after she finished the initial trilogy, and they ...

... lots of authors improve with time (and the Earthsea series has got to have such a name in fantasy for a reason). Does The Tombs of Atuan improve on those fronts and worth it to check out, or is the series just not for me?

... classics, or just good examples of the genre, try Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea series (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore), Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Michael Moorcock's Elric series, C. S. Lewis' Chronic ...

BOOK 71 The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin, 280 Pages Second book in The Earthsea Cycle. A very short book--I read it in one sitting. It was Ok. I liked it well enough to continue on to the next book in the series. 3 Stars I'm currently reading The Pillars of the Earth for a ...

... were not as well developed as they could be. But since the book is only 198 pages, and it's a series that continues with The Tombs of Atuan, I'm expecting it to develop into a more well-rounded story. I'm eager to go on to the remaining books in the series. 3 1/2 Stars

I've only read the first three, and The Tombs of Atuan was definitely the most enjoyable of the bunch. On topic... Um, dragons?

... Earthsea books. The rest are absolutely dismal in terms of plot, and even Le Guin's signature writing couldn't save them. The Tombs of Atuan is one of my all-time favorite fantasy books. I don't find it slow at all. We are getting off-topic, aren't we? Oops.

Fantasy: Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan As a little girl, her name was Tenar; but when she was chosen to be High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, she became Arha, the Eaten One. As Arha now grows up among the priestesses in an isolated desert, her life is consumed with service to the ...

>35, 36, 37, and 38 - I read the first four Earthsea books last year. The Tombs of Atuan was by far my favorite, probably because it was so much smaller and more emotional than the others - I really am a chick, aren't I? ;) I think you will find Tehanu very interesting, Fourpawz. Its not a ...

... books, but my top three, in no particular order, were: A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe, The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin and The Voyage of the Narwhal by Andrea Barrett. Edited to say - What the h-e-double l is the matter with the ...

>35: The Tombs of Atuan was always my favourite (I could never really get into The Farthest Shore - is that the same as Tehanu, Tad?). Glad you liked it.

No. 8 - The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin - Well, I got my wish. Last year when I read A Wizard of Earthsea I hoped that I would find out what the story was with the sad old brother and sister couple and the ring of Erreth-Akbe and the answer was in this book. The bulk of the story, ...

It's been a while since I read A Wizard of Earthsea, but I liked The Tombs of Atuan a bit better than my recollection of the former.

Half way through The Earthsea Trilogy at the moment, have finished the first book and am now onto The Tombs of Atuan... its all as one boko though so I'll go through the whole 3! So far so good, didn't enjoy A Wizard of Earthsea as much as I thought I was going to when I started it. Guess ...

And what #13 said about buying new books matching, but not so much with the secondhand ones (though I do have two copies of The Tombs of Atuan because I saw a copy that matched the covers of the rest of the series I had after I'd bought a copy) I'm really peeved because i've got Elizabeth Va ...

... a fantasy novel but, also like the other books, it has its own distinct theme. Tehanu picks up the story of Tenar, from The Tombs of Atuan and the action starts at about the same as that of The Farthest Shore. Since her arrival in Havnor, Tenar has created a life for herself as the wife ...

Yup, I'm about 200 pages in and actually slowing down because I like it so much! Although I've read The Tombs of Atuan and Juliet Marillier's books, but I'm finding Black ships to be closer to Meghan Whalen Turner's Attolia books, with the spiritual elements closer to Marion Zimmer Bradley's ...

... Ships last night, and so far it's quite good. I'm about 50 pages in, and it seems like a cross between Ursula K. Le Guin's The Tombs of Atuan and the Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier.

I originally read them in the wrong order, having found The Tombs of Atuan in the local library, and then gone to look for numbers 1 and 3. The first time I read Tehanu, I was still more or less in the target age-group for the trilogy: I realized that it didn't gel with the others, and ...

10. The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. LeGuin In the second Earth-Sea novel, Ged, the mage, meets Tenar, Priestess of the Unnamed Ones of Atuan. Less traditionally fantasy-oriented than the first book (A Wizard of Earthsea), The Tombs of Atuan looks at religion and rituals, devotion and ...

I am easily influenced: bought A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu at a used book store here on Vashon Island, where I am house/dog sitting. OK, now time to read.

Re The Tombs of Atuan (some thoughts taken from my review): I whipped through this one after finishing (and enjoying) the first installment of the Earthsea series. Overall I did enjoy it very much - again, not life-changing, but a better, tighter book than A Wizard of Earthsea, in my opinion. ...

... Cycle, if you are at all interested in fantasy worlds. The first, A Wizard of Earthsea, focuses on a boy, the second, The Tombs of Atuan, focuses on a girl. I preferred the second because it was more psychological and a little less repetitive, but both are great.

I've read Wizard of Earthsea before, but its been about a year. I've got the SFBC omnibus of Wizard of Earthsea, Tombs of Atuan, and the Furthest Shore. The omnibus is on my list of books to read for my 50 book challenge this year, so I'll definitely be sure to put my two cents in on the ...

I didn't exactly buy them, but today's mail brought two things from BookMooch: The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin and Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquirel.

LeGuin's Earthsea series has a great heroine - although she doesn't appear until the second book (Tombs of Atuan). I'm about 3/4 of the way through The Mists of Avalon, which is a retelling of the King Arthur story from the viewpoint of the female characters. The characters are very well ...

Wow, what a fun thread. Ditto to Nat from Witch of Blackbird Pond, Ged (especially endearing in The Tombs of Atuan), Taran from The Prydain Chronicles, and Percy from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Not yet mentioned: Beau Geste; Spiller, from The Borrowers Afield et al.; Snufkin, from To ...

... there's evil wizards and some dragons as well, hehe. But it's a prerequisite to read the Earthsea trilogy /or at least The tombs of Atuan/ before reading Tehanu, so maybe not the best chioce if you just want a fast romantic read! *OK, I know you know, reading_fox, but maybe not the ...

... archetypes than actual people, so I have trouble connecting with them. (Although, now that I think about it, I enjoyed The Tombs of Atuan the most out of all the books because Arha/Tenar felt real to me. But she's not a wizard, sooo...)

... time, I'm reading the Earthsea books by Ursula K. le Guin. I finished A Wizard of Earthsea at the end of last month, The Tombs of Atuan yesterday, and I'm reading The Farthest Shore now.

First book of February: 13. *Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin (163) Next book in Earthsea. Once again, I liked it. I liked that the main character was not the same - although oddly enough, I usually don't like that in a series, but here it seems that each book has a different main ...

Tenar, from the Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin. Specifically, for the last two chapters. I am hesitant to describe the plot overmuch (As I hate stumbling across spoilers in these myself), but her acceptance of her situation in the last but one and the mourning before stepping forward ...

Yes, I thought so too, and maybe thats why - I've waited for it since my first reading of The Tombs of Atuan and then the whole book builds to this wish for them to get together! But as I said - I'm undecided. Part because in Tehanu she makes the characters come alive in a kind of everyday, ...
