larsdradrach 's review for:
The Farthest Shore
by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.5 Stars - by far the best in the series !
There's a disturbance in the Force and the old Jedi maste Ged and his young padovan apprentice goes on a quest to bring down the evil sith lord and bring balance in the force.... Oops wrong story.
In this third installment a young prince Arren comes to Roke with some disturbing news, Magic is forgotten or do not work any more in the outskirts of the empire and it's spreading inwards to the center.
Ged sensing some larger destiny in Arren decides to go invite him to accompanying him on a quest to investigate further. they encounter many wonders and dangers but that's spoilers.
It's most of all a story of balance in things, between life and death, and between having power and using it.
What makes this story spectacular is the subtle way Le Guin manages to describe the terror and hopelessness which spreads though the people, here's no cheap effects, large action scenes or big monsters, just a overwhelming feeling of dread and apathy.
Giving the less than positive reviews i have seen of the 4. volume, written many years later i think i stop here.
