'(....) The Tombs of Atuan (1971) is the second book of the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin. I have only reviewed the first one recently and I was surprised by how quickly I read through the sequel. The book wasn’t too long and the chapters were of a nice length, and so here I am to give my verdict. The book follows a girl Tenar, who is stolen from her family to become High Priestess in service to the ‘Nameless Ones’ and is renamed Arha. She is embroiled in the political conflicts of older priestesses Thar and Kossil, eventually coming into conflict with the latter. However her life is eventually shaken up when Ged, the protagonist of the previous books ventures in the labyrinth in search of the lost half of the Ring of Erreth-Akbe, an item which can bring peace to Earthsea. Like A Wizard of Earthsea the book is a coming of age story, only this time it surrounds Tenar rather than Ged, with the latter being more of a side character. I quite like Tenar as a character but at times she seems rather passive in her role in the plot, particularly after Ged comes onto the scene. After he arrives the story seems to shift to him trying to convince her that he is friendly and ultimately, to leave with him and abandon her role as priestess. [...] The story towards the end felt more like it was about Tenar and Ged and Tenar finally finding the strength to shake off the influence of the Nameless Ones and become herself again. It was an intriguing story until the ending but I feel like Guin could have provided us a bit of a payoff with regards to the other characters. I feel like some of them were rather abruptly forgotten about so that the main plot could progress and thinking back the ending leaves a lot unanswered.' ==== https://www.google.com/amp/s/thediscerningwriter.wordpress.com/2016/11/25/the-tombs-of-atuan-ursula-k-le-guin-1971/amp/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tombs_of_Atuan
