    I am, once again, absolutely in love with Ursula K. Le Guin's rich world-building and beautiful writing.

    This story follows Arha (Tenar), a young priestess in the Kargad Lands. I think the complexities of being in her position from such a young age are handled very well in the book, especially towards the end. She was a very interesting character to follow. Arha's relationships with other characters in the book are also very well done, and while you feel the warmth and compassion (especially with Penthe, Manan and Thar), it is very much tinted by the power dynamics. Le Guin is also very talented at showing a character's personality through their dialogue and interactions, and so every side character really shines.

    The setting was very different from the Inner Lands of book 1, naturally. The plot was also very different, with equally high stakes but less movement in general. With Ged, we travelled across Earthsea. With Arha, we remain in the Place, and most of the adventuring is done in the Labyrinth and Undertomb. The world and culture building is phenomenal!

    Overall, lovely stuff! While I didn't enjoy the plot as much as the first book (due to personal taste), it's still just as good ^^

  • October Plans

    I'm absolutely obsessed with the Plan tab in the Library section on here like I've got books on there until the end of next year 😂 and I'm wondering what people have planned for October/the rest of the year. 👀

    If I asked someone where did they get their shoes and the answer I got is, “Babe I don’t think you can afford these shoes.” I don’t think I would bring myself to speak to them ever again 😭
