I've finally finished this book, after running out of time on my library loan for it once or twice. Even broken up by the constraints of insufficient lending periods, this story is incredible, as are the previous two books in the series. I love how rich Earthsea is while at the same time being grounded in thematic reality. This book confronts death and what it means to live in such a fascinating, sincere way; every character feels simultaneously like their own dynamic person while also representing their own philosophical conflict. I just love Earthsea so much and this entry in its world is no different-- Le Guin is unparalleled.
