This surprise fourth novel in the Earthsea Cycle tells a dark, gentle, and redemptive story set in the aftermath of Ged and Arren‘s heroic feats in The Farthest Shore. I was spellbound by this sad, yet spiritually powerful installment in a way I wasn‘t with the original trilogy—the pages turned easily. I was so happy to see Tenar again, just loved her adoptive daughter Therru, and was satisfied with the ending for these favorite characters.

Jari-chan Such a cool picture 😁😸 3mo
Leniverse It's great, isn't it!? I have a soft spot for the first book, because I read it when I was 11 and it mesmerized me. Then found the quartet when I was maybe 18-19, and the fourth book just blew me away. She basically deconstructs her own trilogy, completely flips your view of what's important. 3mo
Leniverse I re-read the Quartet every so many years. I have the short stories and the final book too, which rounds out the story but I don't have the same urge to re-read them. 3mo
underground_bks @Leniverse I should read the last two but I was really satisfied by this one! 3mo

Okay, THIS is what I thought Earthsea would be! An epic, timeless familiarity with Narnia & Middle Earth yet completely original, fresh, and wise. There were several passages like this one I had to stop to treasure. I loved Arren (and his crush) and his (denied) influence on Harry Potter was clear to me. I think he makes a better entry point to the series. Unpopular opinion: this should be the first book in the trilogy and the first two prequels.

Following a young sacrificial priestess of an underground labyrinth and her life-changing encounter with a thief, I liked this second book in the Earthsea series more than the first and am very curious how the next book will put the first two into perspective somehow.

Another book finished! I did find this one more confusing than the Earthsea books I‘ve read before, but still a great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
