I didn't like that after the entire book being about how ordinary people without magic are important, and abused and disabled children are important exactly as they are, and Ged is no less of a person without magic, that the climax of the book was Therru turning out to be a magical dragon child who's the daughter of the greatest dragon ever, and Ged and Tenar being helpless in the face of magic and could only be saved by magic and dragons.

I wanted Therru and Ged and Tenar to be enough, even without special powers, after the entire book up to that point said they were.
