I enjoyed Tehanu pehaps more than any of the previous Earthsea books. The gap of a decade and some Ursula Le Guin took before continying her trilogy can really be felt for the better.
Taking Tenar and making her a middle-aged wife in this book and exploring the world and the events further from that position was genius. Ged's fall from grace, so to say, was also masterfully done. The only thing that I really didn't like, and it being a personal preference,is that Tenar and Ged fell in love.
After reading it in a day or so, I can't wait to see how Tehanu and the dragons finally change Earthsea as we know it.
