I love Earthsea. This book was hard to love, but the ending was strong and beautiful.
The first 3 Earthsea books are fantastic. The sort of thing I could pick up and read from any point and enjoy. This one feels almost like an 100+ page epitaph for the world of Earthsea. The Earthsea you knew is dead, long live the new Earthsea. The very last chapter changed tone a little and felt a little like the old magic that I want to hear more stories about... With 2 books left in the "cycle" I guess I'll just have to read them and find out which direction the head down?
That said, I would recommend the first 3 Earthsea books to anyone. But be prepared for something VERY different if you choose to read the 4th.
3 out of 5 times that I wondered if I would enjoy this book more if I were a woman?

I'm thinking I will look for some Earthsea when I hit the library next.
You are always welcome to borrow any of mine. As long as you don't make fun of the way I intentionally dogear the poignant pages.
