I really like The Tombs of Atuan, but I do think itâs a tone shift from the first book. The religious themes reminded me a lot of Dune in some ways, where even those at the top of religion question it, plus itâs also kind of coming-of-age for Tenar (the priestess girl) and for Paul. Bringing Tenar back in Tehanu (4th book in the series) was brilliant, though, and really gives her character more development. That one might be my favorite of the series.

tal@lemmy.today âš6â© âšdaysâ© agoI though that the book in the series about that âdarkness priestessâ girl who spent time in those caves of hers was kind of depressing and meh. The Tombs of AtuĂĄn, maybe?

âAtuanâ.
I did like the other books in the series, though.

It has been a long while since reading them so I confess that I donât recall them clearly, but the Tombs is my favorite of the series because the feeling and atmosphere she evoked while reading it. Something about how she shaped the story of the tombs darkness stuck hard for me. The inky blackness and their maze of mysteries are ingrained in my memories; so much so that Atuan is what springs to mind if a film includes such material. LeGuinâs storytelling was masterful.
