Gorgeous writing, an exploration of life vs death, and an epic oceanic exploration of lands and people across Earthsea. 

Dragons are so common in fantasy but the way ULG portrays them—their size and power—struck me with such an awe as if I’ve never encountered dragons before. The ending was so bittersweet. I’ll probably think about this trilogy for a long time.
