Thank you for joining us in the discussion. June has definitely been very interesting. :)<br /><br />To comment on your thoughts of the book: I can understand how you'd feel about Tenar serving darker powers, but she had been misled. To her, they were not dark powers, but rather something good, something necessary. But you're right, she is a very strong female heroine! In fact, she's so impressive, she was even quick to change her opinion based on Ged's evidence and was brave enough to go against everything she'd been taught to not trust men.<br /><br />I think the dark powers that were there may have been just Kossil and the other women harnessing the base power of the earth they had there for their own evil purposes. :)<br /><br />Thank you for joining us! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197624317292151655.post-24735863452770828562010-06-14T14:05:27.775-04:002010-06-14T14:05:27.775-04:00Oh yay!

I thought it was really good and want to finish the series though!<br /><br />Count me in as a new follower. Also, you might want to consider signing up for Twitter. I've networked with a lot of bloggers that way! It's heaps fun. :)<br /><br />Oh, and I also replied to your question on my event, <a href="http://littlebookish.blogspot.com/2010/06/event-book-read-round-world.html" rel="nofollow">Book 'Read Round the World</a>. The goodies are yours to keep. The book you send on to the next person on the list (which I will provide).The thing you put in the package can be anything you like that is unique to the place you live. It can even be homemade if you choose. It's just meant to help create a sense of community and cultural goodwill for the event. Hopefully we'll all learn something about each other!Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757884348058544noreply@blogger.com
