Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea (Ursula Le Guin)
Tehanu also offers a radically different conception of good and evil to that of the original trilogy.
Written some twenty years on, Le Guin's Tehanu is an addition to her classic Earthsea trilogy, albeit with a subtitle which suggests no more will follow.

 Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu
Tehanu is the last book in Le Guin's Earthsea tetralogy.
Although this book, as with the others in the series, has been classified as a children's/young adult book, make no mistake: this is a mature book about grown-up subjects, and it is a beautiful ending to the Earthsea saga.

 Encyclopedia: Tehanu
Tehanu, the fourth of Ursula Le Guin 's Earthsea books, is set almost immediately after the conclusion of The Farthest Shore but was written many years later.
Tehanu was originally subtitled The Last Book of Earthsea, but Le Guin has admitted that she was premature in making that claim, and has continued the series in Tales from Earthsea and The Other Wind.
The style of Tehanu is the sparser, more poetic style of Le Guin's later writing, and the book may be more difficult than the first three Earthsea books for younger readers.

 The Other Wind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Besides Tehanu's personal reconcilliation with her own nature, the sorcerer Alder is reconciled with his dead wife, Lebannen with his future bride, and through that marriage, a lasting peace with Kargad is forged.
It follows on from Tehanu, the fourth novel, and the short story "Dragonfly" from the fifth book Tales from Earthsea.
The disparate lores of Paln, Roke, and Kargad are each shown to be imperfect reflections of the true history of the world.

 The Official Time-Waster's Guide v3.0
Tehanu, which I think is the weakest book of the six, won the Nebula award, so you may love the change in style and focus that the last three books bring to the series.
This last book is a sequel to both Tehanu and the story from Tales of Earthsea.
This isn’t to say that Tehanu is a dark novel for mature readers only.

 Review: Discovering the Earth in Earthsea: Ursula K. Le Guin's Tales from Earthsea, reviewed by Christopher Cobb
I might sum up the contents of this review by saying that the answer to all three of this questions is an emphatic and delighted "Yes!" If Tehanu forced readers' imaginations through the uneasy growth processes of adolescence, Tales from Earthsea rewards readers with the rich fruits of full imaginative maturity.
My battered copy of The Farthest Shore, printed fifteen years after the book's first release in 1972, claims that over three million copies of the trilogy were then in print.
In its depiction of suffering and cruelty, "Finder" is as unsparing as Tehanu, but its historical distance and higher style make the tale less desperate.

 Fantasy Finder - U. K. Le Guin: Tehanu
This is the story about the strange child, Therru, but also the story about a middle-aged woman who finally understands a little about men and women and magic and life, and about an ex-archmage who learns to live without the power he always had before.
The first three books are all about growing up: Ged in the first one, Tenar in the second and Lebannen in the third.
The Earthsea trilogy is one of the most read and most loved fantasy series of all time, and many thought she was soiling the earlier books with her late addition to the series.

 Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin, fantasy books
Years after the first three Earthsea books were published, Le Guin wrote a fourth Earthsea book, Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea.
Le Guin's Earthsea fantasy books are A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), The Tombs of Atuan (1970), The Farthest Shore (1972), Tehanu (1990), Tales from Earthsea (collection of 5 stories, 2001), and The Other Wind (2001).
There is a balance between light and dark, male and female, and life and death.

 puritybrown: Reviews of Tehanu and The Other Wind
Tehanu is concerned with the difficulty of coming to terms with not having power -- in Tenar's case because she refused to learn magic as a young woman, in Ged's case because he used all his magic up in healing a breach in reality.
I was warned, by someone whose opinions I respect (though I can't currently remember who - possibly Fergal) and who loved the orignal Earthsea trilogy not to read Tehanu, that it wasn't worth it, and wasn't good.
In that light, I don't think she wrote Tehanu to be "right-on".

 Chapter 13: Earthsea Revisited
It is a ship with an all-male crew, which is somewhat disturbing to Tenar, and the sailor is not her son, but, Tehanu being a well-made novel, and coincidences being significant for folk of power like Tenar, the ship is the king's ship Dolphin with Lebannen aboard, the young man she thought to be Spark.
If Jacob can wrestle with God and Le Guin can wrestle with feminist angels, readers can wrestle, as a point of respect, with Le Guin's work generally, and more specifically with a text as rewarding as Tehanu.
This is decorous for a novel with so much stress on doorways and liminality-the space between-with so much stress on faces scarred on one side: the face of Sparrowhawk/Ged, the face of Therru/Tehanu.

 Amazon.com: Books: Other Wind
The book is a think book, as opposed to an action book, and the blending of thought and deed was what made the other books of Earthsea so good.
One suspects that Le Guin wrote "Tehanu" as penance for making the first three books in the series so male-centric.
These four main characters, each the focus of one of the previous four books, are primed to deal with the exciting new problem of dragons and death (I'm keeping it simple as not to spoil the plot).

 Ursula K. Le Guin: THE OTHER WIND, Excerpt 2
Tehanu stood up in her stirrups and let out a piercing, scraping cry, like a sea-bird's or a hawk's scream, but it was a word, one word: "Medeu!"
Like a dog, an animal greeting and sniffing, Lebannen thought; like a falcon stooping to the wrist; like a king bowing to a queen.
If Tehanu didn't hold her back she would keep sidling and overtaking till she had got ahead of the line.

 Bookreporter.com - TEHANU: (Earthsea Tetrology #4) by Ursula K. Le Guin
While it is not necessary to read A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA and THE FARTHEST SHORE to understand TEHANU, reading THE TOMBS OF ATUAN will show readers how Ged and Tenar's romantically charged meeting in an underground labyrinth evolved into love and commitment.
In 1972, THE FARTHEST SHORE was published and the popular trilogy appeared to be complete.
Le Guin may be working with the same characters, but her attitude towards them and Earthsea has become more complicated.

 Ursula K. Le Guin, The Other Wind
When we read the epic adventures of Ged, Tenar and Arren in A Wizard ofEarthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore, these books were a trilogy.
And then, less than a year ago, she surprised and delighted us yet again with Tales from Earthsea, five more stories that brought previously unknown aspects of the islands vividly to life.
Certainly, beginning with Tehanu, Le Guin has chosen women characters to carry much of the action in her stories, but men are still very much present, and many of them presented positively.
