A fine ending to a remarkable series

5 estrellas

Le Guin's final book of Earthsea does all that I could hope. It answers all of the big questions that were left hanging in previous stories, while also ending in a way that allows the imagination to posit many divergent futures for Earthsea.

I love how Le Guin managed to introduce new protagonists in most of the books of this series, while also managing to keep the previous protagonists involved and relevant.The way that Earthsea grew and changed as the series progressed—especially the increasing presence and significance of female characters, and the questioning and complicating of the wizards of Roke—really made continuing the series feel worthwhile to me.

I thought that the crisis of this book, and its resolution, were perfect. For me, this is one of the most satisfying series closers that I've ever read.
