An excellent book which i return every few years for the past 30. Le Guin is without per in skill and word. What a gift. ( )

Tehanu>The Tombs of Atuan> A Wizard of Earthsea> The farthest shore. They were all good but I liked Tehanu and tombs the best. Will recommend. ( )

Made it through 2.5 of the 4 books. The second half of the second book was my favorite. I think I just have to accept that this series is not for me. ( )

Very well written. ( )

A fantasy classic for all the right reasons: original writing, characters, and permeating the whole, the values of tolerance, kindness, and equality. ( )
