The audiobook version is done so well! Every time I make my way through this world again I get irritated with the Ghibli movie adaptation lol

I also got to them as an adult, having first seen the not very good Studio Ghibli film. It's a series where, like so many of Ursula's work, you have to completely break all preconceived notions of trope and action.
She undoes the macho power fantasy and presents empathy as the key to understanding and resolving so many issues in life.
highly recommend the series, more so since they have seen recent reprints.
I just got the illustrated edition and its so damn gorgeous. I have just read the first book, can't wait to read the rest
I really really enjoyed the second one in particular.
