Tenar was the priestess of the Nameless Ones-the ancient powers. She was responsible for remembering and worshipping them. She forgot her family and home. Then came the young wizard, Ged, who trespassed where none had gone before and none had lived.

Velho piilossa pimeissä käytävissä

3 stars

Maameren tarinoita en nuorena lukenut, jostain ihan eri yhteydestä bongasin Holvihaudat ja päätin lukea. Oikeana päivänä syntynyt pikkutyttö saa jatkaa papitarten jälleensyntymisen linjaa ja hänet vihitään vartioimaan pimeitä käytäviä ja holveja maan alla. Missä ei ketään saisi olla, löytyy mies, jonka oikeastaan pitäisi menettää henkensä, mutta Tenar säästää hänet.

Pimeiden, kosteiden käytävien tunnelma välittyi hyvin. Perinne painaa, pääseekö siitä irti?

Luca Broggi reviewed Le tombe di Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin (earthsea, #2)

Scorrevole e incantevole

4 stars

È il secondo libro del ciclo di Earthsea. L'immaginario che crea e la scorrevolezza della storia si combinano in un ritmo che ti lascia incantato. Bellissimo.

A Bit Slow

4 stars

After the Wizard oft Earthsea, this second book felt a bit slow. Since it is confined to one particular place in Earthsea, that might have added to the feeling. It is still a good book and I liked reading it, if only for the change of perspective.

Ok yeah I liked it

No rating

It's the kind of story I'd like to follow a bit further. Also, I'd love some more exploration of how the reality and the worship are connected. But I was happy as it was.
