I was at the library, saw how short it was, and had it checked out 'ere I had time to think.<br /><br />Agreed, though. There are plenty of mainstays that I have no interest in reading (i.e. Terry Goodkind), but also plenty that I want to read, too.logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19648568.post-85237499054077603612010-11-23T12:10:45.952-06:002010-11-23T12:10:45.952-06:00There are more than a few fantasy mainstays that I...There are more than a few fantasy mainstays that I have never had any interest in exploring, and this is one of them. Thanks for the honest review. I can't say I'm in any danger of adding it to the list any time soon.Kristopher A.

And indeed, her anthropological background definitely is obvious in <i>Earthsea</i>. I really felt like she did a phenomenal job at the worldbuilding and cultures.logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19648568.post-10233645818473265392010-11-22T15:06:39.118-06:002010-11-22T15:06:39.118-06:00*while we are reading Tolkien, we can't help b...*while we are reading Tolkien, we can't help but pause over potential influences; same happened when were reading C.S. Lewis' Narnia series. makes me glad that Natalya is hearing these predecessors/classics.<br /><br />That Ursula comes from an Anthropological background is evident in her work and makes her world-building, characterizations, and her explorations of the human condition fantastic. also, she is flat out entertaining as a storyteller. can you tell I'm a fan? 'The Birthday of the World and Other Stories' is a collection of short stories where she has gone back to revisit some of the places she wrote about in her novels.<br /><br />~LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
