Re: Ursula Le Guin

I tried reading the Earthsea series some years ago and couldnt get into it. However, I've since tried a more recent book by this author - Gifts.

She's written quite a few books and I thought I'd give her works another go to

Has anyone managed to read Gifts yet?

1 - i can't decide if this is a YA book or not. I feel it is, as the story is very simple. Well written mind, but nothing at all you have to think about.

2 - I read it very quickly, it's a nice easy walk through the life of Orrec, who has the gift of unmaking. One of the more destructive gifts. But at the end I couldnt see the point to the story I was left wondering - is that it!
