"Tehanu" est le quatriÚme tome du cycle Earthsea d'Ursula K. Le Guin, également connu en français sous le nom de cycle de Terremer.

PubliĂ© en 1990, prĂšs de vingt ans aprĂšs le tome prĂ©cĂ©dent, le roman reprend cependant le rĂ©cit directement aprĂšs l’épilogue de The Farthest Shore.

Review of 'Tehanu (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 4)' on 'Storygraph'

I enjoyed this book more than “Farthest Shore” but not as much as “Wizard of Earthsea” (one of my favourite books) and “Tombs of Atuan” (also very good). Le Gunn’s writing is as beautiful as ever but this one loses its way in the middle and the ending is satisfying but feels rushed. It was lovely to be reunited with Tenar and the dragons are always great.
