![]() ![]() Fantasy doesn't have to be this way, though, as Le Guin and a few others, most recently and especially N. Tolkien did it a lot better than his many imitators. ![]() I generally like science fiction better than fantasy because fantasy is often more limited by its genre conventions. There's more going on in Tehanu, the fourth Earthsea book, than I can really get to in this review (as with most Le Guin novels), but I can say it really helped to read Le Guin's 2012 afterword in my edition. I recently moved these two later books in the series - Tehanu and Tales From Earthsea-to the top of my list to prepare for an online discussion of the Earthsea books (info here). I've been a huge fan of Le Guin's science fiction for about 20 years, but I didn't start reading the Earthsea books until a few years ago. ![]()
