A beautiful ending to Earthsea. The series is a five-star experience overall, somehow more than the sum of its parts. Each book feels quite modest in scale, short and carefully slow-burning, but their cumulative effect is powerful and sort of inexpressible to me. Being able to observe the growth of the characters – and author – through decades of their lives has felt like such a privilege.
