The Priestess of the Tombs of Atuan
"There are rooms underneath the Hall, underneath the whole Place, under where we stand now. There's a great maze of tunnels, a Labyrinth. It's like a great dark city, under the hill. Full of gold, and the swords of old heroes, and old crowns, and bones, and years, and silence."
She spoke as if in trance, in rapture. Manan watched her. His slabby face never expressed much but stolid, careful sadness; it was sadder than usual now.
"Well, and you're mistress of all that," he said. "The silence, and the dark."
"I am."

And that’s it, I just finished the Tombs of Atuan and…I’m kinda blown away. I absolutely adored A Wizard of Earthsea and just when I thought this couldn’t get any better, the wise spirit of Ursula Le Guin kept me captivated page by page, and held my hand through the shadowed tunnels of Atuan.
I want 300 more pages no 3,000 more pages. Man what a book.
There’s a little blurb on the front of my copy by Neil Gaiman “her words are written on my soul” and now they’re on mine too. Perfection.
Now On to the Farthest Shore
