This one started out pretty slow for me. Then I felt like stopping because everyone they came across was just rambling on, and the gibberish started to get on my nerves. Not sure if it was my mood or the book. I decided to keep reading, and I'm glad I did. I loved the dragons and the ending. They redeemed the book for me.

Ursula K. Le Guin is brilliant in how she forms sentences expressing on paper how one believes and thinks in the deepest of their hearts. It flows so naturally, and has me constantly stopping to reread such beautiful and thoughtful sentences. Although Ged and Arren’s story is full of adventures, I couldn’t help but feel like this story dragged a little too much and was a bit repetitive throughout, to get to a conclusion with the villain that ended a bit too abruptly.
Kept hoping that this, third in the series, would be better. Nope. A few interesting ideas, but again, tedious. A certain character reminded me of one in the Harry Potter series. A little digging revealed a comment from LeGuin saying she thought Rowling's work was derivative. Well, if you take an idea and actually flesh it out, is that derivative or actually creative? Will not read this book again, and no interest in reading the further Earthsea books.
