The answer was that I missed out on an incredible novel, one that feels incredibly relevant today. After rereading the first three recently, I was curious to see what I missed out on as a kid. *Tehanu* (the fourth in the Earthsea cycle) was first published in 1990, when I was 8 years old, so it undoubtedly had come out when I first read Earthsea as a kid perhaps because it was published so much later than *The Farthest Shore*, though, I was not aware of it when I read the first three. ![]()
