hoodie_ 's review for:
The Farthest Shore
by Ursula K. Le Guin, David Smee
of all of the books in this series, i'd say this final one follows the most classic fantasy plot line, lots of dragons and a quest that must be done to defeat a great evil but like anything by Ursula Le Guin it's incredibly written, where not a single word is ever wasted that just adds that special twist that places it a cut above the rest.
This book takes place 17 years after the last one and Ged's old age is often contrasted with Arren's youth.
It's a classic trope but it tied up Ged's story really well as a way to exemplify what the series has been telling us about how we cannot worship the worlds natural darkness or dedicate our lives to the preservation of stagnant power.
Also as a side note it’s very funny how wildly homoerotic
Arrens way of talking and thinking about Ged is and it's clear Le Guin is really trying to signal to the people that will get it that this kid is gay and starting to realise it.
