Query: It doesnt wholly deserve such a bad rating.....

The problem with this book isnt that it is a bad book - it is a good, well-written, feminist story in its own right. The problem is: Why did LeGuin feel the need to tear down one of the best fantasy trilogies to get a feminist point across? This book would be better as a story all its own separate from the original books. If one can get past the fact that this book is actually a part of the Earthsea Trilogy, and how different it is from the others, then it would have gotten a four-to-five star rating. Therefore I would recommend it for anyone who hasnt developed a love and sympathy for the original characters. But as for me, a reader of the original trilogy, I simply couldnt ignore how out of place this book was and felt compelled to give the story a low rating. For me, it remains the Earthsea TRILOGY.
