A review by bhnmt61
The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin

5.0

Years after the events of the Tombs of Atuan, Sparrowhawk has become Archmage in Roke. A young Prince, Arren, comes to Roke with a message of encroaching darkness, magic dying out of the world. The two of them journey to the outer reaches of the archipelago to confront a dark hole that is draining joy from the world.

I love this series. Maybe because I read them first when I was exactly the right age for them— around eleven or twelve. Reading them now as an adult, I especially love the afterwords that LeGuin has included with each book. Wonderful.
