The discussion of fiction books! Please tag spoilers and follow instance rules.
And the other books in the Earthsea series too, of course.
I've only read the first three books, actually. I should fix that.
I stopped at the fourth and I highly recommend it. Great example of how YA fantasy can be light and very political at the same time.
What’s the premise?
Premise of the book: a little girl is intentionally and deeply hurt, she is then discriminated upon because of that. How do you rationalize bad things happening to a child? And how do you deal with discrimination?
I felt it was the most realistic of the EarthSea novels, while still being quite gentle for the themes treated.
