Being horny in tweed.

You've read my Sherlock/Dr. Who fanfic!

True confession time: I don’t much care for fandoms in general and am happy that folks are finding books/tv shows whatever to enjoy.

My mom once she got a kindle got back into reading and her thing was romantasy, or aliens and shifters with normal humans. This was also the woman that introduced me to Dune and other sci-fi books, along with Lord of the rings before the movies.

The last three books do end up talking a lot about the School at Roke, but they never make it the sole focus (it's more about questioning the structure of magic in Earthsea).

I’d forgotten that. I didn’t click with the last three; they feel like inelegant retcons to the world. They are of course well-written and thoughtful, Le Guin can hardly do otherwise.
