Tehanu is one of my favorite books of all time. I love that Tenar finally becomes the rescuer of Ged, in a way he never knew he would need, and how she brings light and joy to Therru, no magic necessary. In such a magic rich world, having the character who brings the most change be one without magic, but kindness and willpower? Incredible.
Also, Therru's journey is heart wrenching, and beautifully written.
OP, I'm glad you're enjoying this series! It's wonderful.
