(Still catching up. Broken computer not helping.)
Tehanu is probably my overall favorite in the series. Even though Tehanu picks up right where The Farthest Shore leaves off, due to the long gap between when the two books were written (almost 20 years), you can see where Le Guin's focus and interests as a writer have changed. With Tehanu, we see more of ordinary life in Earthsea, not just the extraordinary wizarding life, and Le Guin examines what womanhood means and the sexist attitudes present on Earthsea, which of course can all be applied to our own universe as well.
