I’m finding it increasingly difficult to articulate how and why the genius writer Ursula K. Le Guin’s work pierces my soul as I read more and more of it. There is so much hard-earned, plainspoken, painful, loving wisdom in this book. It feels like she absorbed everything that she had created in the first three Earthsea books, written decades earlier, and found a way to filter them through her own accumulated life experiences and ideas, and poured everything that she was into this new tale. It feels profoundly personal to her in a way that is just magical and utterly moving.

DivaDiane SM Yes! And if you would believe it, the trend continues in Tales of Earthsea and the Other Wind (especially). She brings it to the most satisfying conclusion you could imagine. And it is a wonder.


Anthony I don’t doubt it. She was a treasure who enriched the world with her incredible skills as a writer.
