The guide urges him to fill her mouth with water, which he does, and the voice continues. When the spirit guide again appears, Steinberg asserts that it is Hannah’s ventriloquism. Hannah has no desire to talk to “sperrits”, refusing even a financial incentive, but suddenly realises that she has been given a sleeping draught and is powerless to resist. Ricardo realises with mounting excitement that this is the ghost of Leonora and urges Hannah to summon her again. Hannah complains about her role in the séances, as they leave her exhausted and she is also finding herself haunted by a foreign-looking woman in a veil. Despite this experience, Steinberg is still sceptical, speculating that Hannah herself was responsible for the spirit voice. The voice then ceases and Hannah awakens, completely oblivious as to what has happened. Ricardo immediately starts demanding to speak with his dead wife but is admonished by the spirit guide for his impatience. Hannah faints in an armchair and soon a spirit voice addresses them, revealing that Hannah is “one of the finest mediums this world has ever produced.” He warns them to be careful, however, as she will assimilate any spirit that possesses her. She is horrified by the séance room, believing that the men are going to practice vivisection on her. Although frightened by the men’s proposal, Hannah agrees to it, believing it will allow her to lead a normal life.

You can watch the whole conversation above, or listen to it on the Super Soul podcast on Spotify. In this first of their two-part conversation, the pair discuss why deep concentration matters, how it's being taken from us, and why understanding concepts like behavioral conditioning can help us unravel our complex relationship with perpetual distractions like social media.

Numerous critics claim that this novel is Le Guin’s attempt to revise her earlier, more traditional fantasy novels in the Earthsea trilogy, and that Tehanu works as a feminist reaction to the Earthsea trilogy. I have examined the gender roles in Tehanu, by taking a closer look at the characters and the roles they have in the plot. I begin by showing the places where the possibilities of change are indicated, and then I use feminist criticism to show that there is no change in the gender roles. LeGuin’s fantasy novel Tehanu instead of breaking away from traditional gender roles maintains them, despite the novel’s promises of change.

So each thing I loved, I really loved and each thing I disliked, I really disliked. The characters: twisted, messed up, and very well developed.The writing: it’s absolutely gorgeous and lyrical.Ultimately I settled on 3 stars instead of 2 because I really liked certain parts without really loving the entire book. I’ve never had such a hard time rating a book because “Wink Poppy Midnight” is confusing in itself and I was even more confused with how I felt about it.

Let me sum up this entire book and review with one word: confusion. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee.
