The third book in the Earthsea Cycle follows the wizard Ged and young Prince Arren as they search for the reason behind the forgetting of magic. Magic users across the many islands of Earthsea are forgetting the words of magic and going mad, and it seems to be spreading.This is a great story of conquering your fears and overcoming what appears to be more than you can handle. It show the value of friendship and commitment. This was a wonderful follow up to the first two books. I have the fourth on my soon to be bought list. My only complaint is again of the large gap with little to no information of what happens between the stories. I'm the type of reader that enjoys knowing even the more boring parts of the characters lives. 3.5/5

A nice conclusion to the Earthsea Trilogy. I believe it was the best of the three. The philosophy of the wizards of Earthsea is something I am going to have to go back and study in more depth. There are many aspects of these books that could be studied in great depth. I had heard in several lectures this trilogy is one of the most important for anyone, who values fantasy, to read. I have to agree. I am glad I did not miss out on this.

very intersting. This cycle seems to get more complex and worth reading as you go whereas most authors start of great and I am sick of them by the third book. I like how sparrowhawk/ged ages rather than forever being this young heroic figure that would start to annoy me after a few books. Also he has an endearing streak of stupidity/vulnerability at times. He is a lot more attractive to me than similar but more flawless characters. Also he is short.

This is the third book in the Earthsea cycle. Please see my review of the whole cycle under "A Wizard of Earthsea".

I loved this book because it reminded me how precious life is. The main theme of this book is that just as you can't have light without darkness, you can't have life without death...if someone were ever to find the way to immortality, they would cease to be able to truly live, since they could not die. Read it!
