Tehanu

TEHANU is a masterful read, perhaps the best of the Earthsea cycle. Le Guin does away with power, or the mythical Ged and strong Tenar of the first book, revealing instead their much more human and frail lives. It's a dark booked filled with loss and grief, but also an incredibly angry book; attacking gender roles, attacking power. This book is a complete stunner and easily one of my favorite Le Guins.
