This story was also good, but I think I cant keep giving 5 stars, as it is not a mindblowing story. It is just very well written and paced. Time moves naturally even with the timeskips.

I love this series - Le Guin is so intentional. Earthsea is a crystal clear mirror of our world, exposing all of humanity's weaknesses and beauty and hopes. The Earthsea books are simple and yet so rich and wonderful

It's a book that is commenting on something that I didn't like as much as the author did
