Finished the story "Darkrose and Diamond". It's a love story about two teenagers finding out what they want to do with their lives.

I've finished the third and fourth entries of the saga.

In "The Farthest Shore" the magic is running out of the world; Ged and the prince of Enlad part in an adventure to find out what the problem is. It's a book full of adventure, visiting many Islands in the archipelago.

In contrast, "Tehanu" has a slower pace. It's a fantasy novel in which dragons and magic are not in the foreground. It answers the question How does the dispossessed, children, women, handicapped, live in a world with magic? And doing so makes you think about the power relations in the so called real world.

I finished the second book in the saga titled "The Tombs of Atuan". It's great.

It follows the story of Tenar, a girl taken to an old temple in the desert to be the priestess devoted to the "Nameless Ones", ancient gods long forgotten.

She was very lonely there; all her life changed when she met Ged, the first book's protagonist, who was in the underground labyrinth under the temple looking for an ancient relic. This encounter completely changes Tenar's life.

The main topics of the book are freedom, gender, and the power relations emanating between those, reflecting the anarchist views of Ursula.

@bookstodon Finished the first book 'A wizard of Earthsea'. I like how the book is not about good vs evil. It's more about a personal search of oneself. #fantasy #UrsulaKLeGuin

"A wizard may have subtle ways of telling the truth, and may keep the truth to himself, but that if he says a thing the thing is as he says."

"All universities in the [West Bank] were built solely with private funding and donations from foreign states [..]. apart from the Islamic University in Hebron, originally supported by Israel as part of its encouragement of Islamic fundamentalism to undermine the secular PLO, now a Hamas center."
