(2) YA "Gifts" in this carefully imagined world are destructive powers, nurtured as defense against neighboring domains. Orrec's family's gift is "unmaking"--but Orrec dreads the power to destroy by dint of "eye, hand, word, will." Orrec and his friend Gry are unique, thoughtful young rebels whose struggles have no easy or predictable outcome, while Le Guin's own gifts illuminate every description.
