Tenar has since embraced the simple pleasures of an ordinary life, while Ged mourns the powers lost to him through no choice of his own. Together, they shared an adventure like no other. Years before, they had helped each other at a time of darkness and danger. In this fourth novel in the Earthsea series, we rejoin the young priestess Tenar and powerful wizard Ged. Opening line: After Farmer Flint of the Middle Valley died, his widow stayed on at the farmhouse. I can see why opinions vary about this book but, for me, it was a stunning work of fiction that will leave me thinking for a long, long time. I’m happy the prompts forced me to continue my Earthsea readthrough and I finally got to this highly acclaimed volume in Ursula K. My very first Series Crackdown readathon is going quite well.
