[Now Reading] Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin

in #earthsea5 years ago (edited)

Tehanu, book no. 4 of the Earthsea saga written by our beloved fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin.

On the left is an English version of the book, image found on the web, while on the right is Slovenian translation which I finished reading minutes ago.

How can I describe this book in one sentence?

It's a delayed love story with not much outer magic yet with plenty of inner magic and feelings and love.

This book was written 18 years after the third book of the series was published. One can say that it is more mature. It is different, darker and deeper. It is almost like a long last chapter of the second book and a prelude to the book that follows it.

What will Tehanu develop into? Will she become a dragon?

What about Tenar and Ged? Will they find peace in the mountains or will they be engulfed in more adventures?

This book brings more questions than answers. It has a conclusion that is opening the doors. Which is great because I am going to start reading book five, Tales From Earthsea, tonight. Again, it is an intermezzo for book six, The Other Wind.

These two books.

Hey, eleven tags posted with busy. Great!

That's great info! The only thing is that Steemit is going to ignore all the tags after the 5th tag. Meaning, e.g. under the "love" tag your post (on Steemit) is not listed even among the new published post under the "love" tag, and even less can be found under the "love" trending tag.

On the other hand, the good thing is that, for instance, on Creative Coin platform people can find it under the "love" tag among new and trending posts.
Didn't check the PALNet!

That could be one aspect. The other is that tags are indexed very selectively and sparsely. If the post doesn't have enough value the tags are ignored. That's my opinion, of course.

Well, everything is possible. As there is not anything official we can just play with guesses and a bit of experience which also doesn't have to be accurate.

Some time ago, I was playing with it by testing different possibilities, and in my opinion Steemit is just strictly glued to 5 tags (first 5), for I don't know what reason.

If we have the categories, only 5 tags would be OK. But like this, with so many different groups, projects etc., at the end turns out that there is no room for true content related tags. If we manage to use one, that's good while two tags is already a jackpot.

Thank God, at least some of those new tokenized platforms recognize more of them.

There should be something else for groups, tribes, communities...

Tags are meant to define content and not affiliation. They are abused now.

You are more than right, and I agree with you completely.
