Tenar adopts a young girl who was burned by tramps. This novel, the fourth in the Earthsea Cycle, finds Tenar, the young priestess from The Tombs of Atuan, as a recently widowed adult. Especially after the ending! If, like me, you were a little bummed by the third book, I think Tehanu will bring you back into the magic of Earthsea.Tehanu is a novel by the award-winning science fiction writer Ursula K. I really loved the relationship between Tenar and Therru and I’d read so many more books about those two. Things heat up at the end though – so if you enjoyed the flow of the first book, I think you’ll enjoy this too. Now we find she’s windowed, her kids are grown and gone and she’s caring for a young girl, Therru.I feel like there’s a lot happening in this book, but it’s sort of lowkey. In this book we learned she married a farmer, settled down, and had a couple kids. Tenar began her journey as a nameless girl, The Eaten One, and then had a moment of fame after Ged brought her to Havnor. Yes, Ged is the hero of the trilogy, but he kind of lost some charm in the last book.What I found interesting is that Ged began his journey as a student of magic and eventually became Archmage, but is now brought low, feeling helpless and useless after the events of the third book. I really enjoyed revisiting Tenar’s life as an adult, moreso even than Ged. The magical elements don’t really come into play until the end of the book. This is another fantasy book that’s about the characters and their personal journey. Now the full Earthsea collection- A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, Tehanu, Tales from Earthsea, and The Other Wind-is available with a fresh, modern look that will endear it both to loyal fans and new legions of readers. Le Guin’s Earthsea Cycle has earned a treasured place on the shelves of fantasy lovers everywhere, alongside the works of such beloved authors as J.R.R. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Ursula K. Now the two must join forces again and help another in need-the physically, emotionally scarred child whose own destiny has yet to be revealed…. Tenar has since embraced the simple pleasures of an ordinary life, while Ged mourns the powers lost to him through no choice of his own. Together, they shared an adventure like no other. Years before, they had helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. In this fourth novel in the Earthsea series, we rejoin the young priestess the Tenar and powerful wizard Ged. The Nebula and Locus Award–winning fourth novel in the renowned Earthsea series from Ursula K.
