I did enjoy this book, though I didn't find Arren as compelling as Ged or Tenar, but I enjoyed having his perspective and seeing him grow. I don't think it's the strongest of the series, as Cob was somewhat of a disappointing villain, but I enjoyed the expansion of the world. I almost wish there'd just been a little bit more elaboration, especially at the end. I also enjoy how Le Guin leaves us with a vague ending, saying what people talk about instead of what happened for sure.
