This time our hero is not Ged but a young girl named Tenar who is taken from her family at the age of 5 believed to be the reencarnation of a priestess of an ancient religion. It is only toward the end she meets Ged who sets her free but breaks her heart by not staying with her.
I love the prose and the characters. The thing I like best in fiction is the good guys. And Ged is a great good guy. Forged by the fires of vanity, pride and ignorance he battles with demons and comes out wounded but victorious. I love it that the novels' serious tone so far and that the heroine is such a likable person who doesn't shy away from her own demons.
Anyway highly recommended.
