A pretty cute fairy tale retelling.

Audiobook reread. I love this book. It deals with, among other things, power, balance, friendship between generations, the shrinking of magic loyalty.

It’s the end of the school year and as a teacher my brain capacity is temporarily somewhat reduced. So, this has taken quite a while to get through. It’s really good, though.
Battle, armies, intrigues, involvement of several factions and really powerful players. Laseen’s a badass.

Brain capacity for a teacher is somewhat reduced at the end term, so I opted for an audio reread while doing chores.
In The Tombs of Atuan we meet Tenar, who is taken from her parents at five years old to become Arha, high priestess to the eaten ones. We will also meet Ged, the protagonist from A Wizard of Earthsea, again. This is atmospheric and sort of creepy. Le Guin portrays a culture that is both ancient and sort of stagnant. Tenar is a believable girl and young woman without some of the annoyingness such characters sometimes get in fiction. I love this book.
