About this listen
The third book of Earthsea in a beautiful hardback edition. Complete the collection with A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and Tehanu.
Darkness threatens to overtake Earthsea: the world and its wizards are losing their magic. Despite being wearied with age, Ged Sparrowhawk - Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord - embarks on a daring, treacherous journey, accompanied by Enlad's young Prince Arren, to discover the reasons behind this devastating pattern of loss. Together they will sail to the farthest reaches of their world - even beyond the realm of death - as they seek to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

Critic reviews
"[This] trilogy made me look at the world in a new way, imbued everything with a magic that was so much deeper than the magic I'd encountered before then. This was a magic of words, a magic of true speaking." (Neil Gaiman)
"Drink this magic up. Drown in it. Dream it." (David Mitchell)

Spine tingling narration
Really enjoyed the reading. The story is good but there are a few points where things just happen because they need to.

Magic at it's best
Loved reading this story as a young adult - immensely enjoyed listening to it again as an old man. Very well narrated. Ursula K Le Guin's magic universe is deep, poetic and somehow more dignified. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Keeps getting better!
Earthsea must of been the inspiration for so many other books. I thought I'd skipped a book at first as it starts off with new characters and I couldn't see how it follows on from the last book. Before long the story falls into place leaving me thinking "Arr I see what's happening now" can't wait to listen to book 4

A masterpiece.
A different calibre of writing.... trounces contemporary writing. Philosophy, humanity, darkness, magic. Narrator did an amazing job too!

Magical telling of a magical tale
I love the Tales of Earthsea and have enjoyed following the trajectory of SparrowHawk tremendously. Kobna’s narration is just phenomenal… he really brings all characters to life. A daily joy, entrancing, enriching, multilayered.
