2022 book 91

 Ursula LeGuin's Powers

The final book in this trilogy is a little bit grimmer and sadder than the first two, but once again I am in awe of LeGuin's worldbuilding and characterization. The protagonist here is a boy who's a slave, but a well educated one, with the power to remember everything he’s ever read—and occasionally to remember things that haven’t happened yet. This one feels like more of a coming of age/journey kind of story than the others, but it’s an enthralling journey at least. My only complaint is that I wanted a few more chapters at the end. Or like another book. A/A-.
