I think if someone had read, say, only Harry Potter and Narnia and then read this trilogy, it would seem a lot more mind-blowing, yeah. What's interesting to me is Le Guin basically wrote the same kind of trilogy with the first three Earthsea books, and then blew it all WAY the fuck up with nitro with Tehanu, and going by what happens to Grossman's female characters I'd bet real money he's never read that.
.....or no, I looked at he actually says to Le Guin"you went back to Ged’s story after 28 years" so I don't even fucking know what to think there. TEHANU IS NOT ABOUT GED, LEV (and it was 18 years, not 28)
