Very good book. While a break in theme and pacing from the other Earthsea books, Tehanu is still steeped in Le Guin's signature writing style that says so much using such simple, elegant language. It's a thoughtful book dripping with insight, wisdom, and philosophy. It wrestles with questions of gender and identity, while rounding out the world of Earthsea, giving the perspective of the ‘ordinary folk'.

Don't expect a page turner. But do expect gentle, kind wisdom and thoughtfulness.
