The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

By Ursula K. Le Guin

For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.

Do you like adventure, suspense, and action? Then Horizon: Deadzone is for you. Quick background story: A plane heading to China unexpectedly crashes. There are no survivors except for 8 singled-out kids who find themselves in a hybrid, alien-like place where nothing makes sense. It's survival, and they must work together. Now, in Horizon: Deadzone we start as the now 7 kids (self-named Team Killbot) travel through a blazing hot, sandy desert where the sand will swallow you up if even one tiny drop of liquid falls onto the sand. Will the group of survivors get closer to finding a way out of this crazy place? Or will the treacherous sand get the best of them all? This book was a really exciting addition to the suspenseful Horizon series! I loved how the author was descriptive and she shaped the characters very well. I was hooked through all the twists and turns of Team Killbot and I can't wait for the next book to come out!!

I love this book so much. I stayed up all night reading it. I cant believe nobody else has read this book. It's a paranormal book with physics, and ghosts, and it's also a romance action novel novel.

So read this book! It's better than the Hunger Games!
