bluegraybox 's review for:
The Farthest Shore
by Ursula K. Le Guin
In a sense, this story is a blend of A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan. It has the far-ranging quest of Wizard, but like Tombs it's about living within limits: accepting that death is part of life, what gives it meaning and vibrancy. It is also about the debilitating and self-reinforcing power of depression, and the falsity of drug-fueled mysticism and mystics. Kind of a lot going on there for an epic fantasy story, and a reason why Le Guin's stories still resonate.
