Ursula LeGuin--EarthseaAuthor: Ursula K. LeGuin Source: Mom These four books each have a very different feel, but I still think they hang together into a cohesive whole. The stories are entertaining and still thought-provoking. The emotions and characters are incredibly deep, and I personally agree with a lot of the philosophical messages. One thing I love about LeGuin is her writing is writing foremost and fantasy second. She never sacrifices anything just for the sake of a clever idea -- something I think Asimov does -- but rather all the "fantasy" aspects are carefully chosen to enhance the core message of the story. Hers are among the only fantasy books I can stand, with real literary merit. |
