coreysees 's review for:

The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin
3.75
adventurous reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Again, nostalgia. 

What a weird way (in a good way, maybe?) to end a trilogy (that isn't actually a trilogy anymore). As a younger person, I thought the things the book had to say about death were a little deeper than I find them now. 

I am deeply suspicious of Ged's insistence that a king will fix everything. It's especially weird since I'm pretty sure Le Guin was an anarchist.
