Picking up where Wizard of Earthsea left off, Ursula Le Guin continues to explore the complexities of human character. Ged, a powerful and respected wizard now still feels the urges of personal greed that were the crux of the first book in this delightful series. In his pursuit of treasure and knowledge, he becomes wrapped up in the plight of Tenar, a young girl held by a religious cult against her will. As Ged discovers Tenar and takes her with him on his escape from the temple, Le Guin continues to explore issues of human responsibility to each other, the duality of our actions, and the idea of free will for every human being.
