Tehanu was one of the first book (with EarthSea) that my father gave me to read as a child. I loved the story, the magic in the lives of them and the strange child named Tehanu. It's a tale of hardships and love. Another excellent book in the Earthsea Cycle, and despite being written many years later than the others it's still a joy. Perhaps more homely than the others it is none the weaker for it. And it's lovely to see Tenar again. I heartily recommend the entire series. Leguin should have stayed with just 3 books - this fourth book is over long and does not fit the style or feeling of the other books in the trillogy. This and The Other Wind came along well after the first three were done. While I enjoyed them, I sort of wish she had just left it at the near-perfect first trilogy. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0689845332, Mass Market Paperback)Ursula K. LeGuin follows her classic trilogy from Earthsea with a magical tale that won the 1991 Nebula Award for Science Fiction. Unlike the tales in the trilogy, this novel is short and concise, yet it is by no means simplistic. Promoted as a children's book because of the awards garnered in that category by her previous work, Tehanu transcends classification and shows the wizardry of female magic. The story involves a middle-age widow who sets out to visit her dying mentor and eventually cares for his favorite student.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:55 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
