Maybe I just didn't read the afterword, but I didn't get that feeling until Tehanu, when LeGuin decided to bludgeon the reader over the head with Feminism.

See the bits of the thread where people complain about hearing the author's axe as it grinds.

For me, the Tombs of Atuan was a refreshing change of pace with a lot of good worldbuilding and an actually sinister supernatural threat. Tehanu feels like LeGuin trying to one-up ToA by going off the moody non-traditional deep end. ToA was a little salt added to the excellent main dish that was A Wizard of Earthsea; Tehanu was what happens when the cap falls off the shaker.

Oh yeah, I didn't get any hints of that kind of message from the book ToA itself. The book I just found flat out boring (it interested me in the beginning but got redundant, I felt). The afterword made me go, if that was her reason for writing this, maybe she focused so much on making her character "not a man with boobs" that she forgot to make her anything else, like interesting.

I can totally agree that ToA starts starts off stronger than it ends. It's as if UKL had a great idea for a first chapter then got lost in the labyrinth herself.
