Books

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers."



-Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926)

Gifts by: Ursula K. Le Guin

This story, although you would most likely find this book in the fantasy section of your public library, is written like a realistic fiction. The story follows the characters Gry and Orrec who both find different ways of coping with their gifts, or a abnormal superpower. Gry, with the power of calling animals, doesn't want to use the gift to call animals to their deaths while hunting and Orrec fears his power of "unmaking" and where's a blindfold voluntarily. This story of fear and struggle is an excellent fantasy/sci-fi novel that I would rate 3.5 out of 5 stars.
