shgmclicious 's review for:
The Farthest Shore
by Ursula K. Le Guin
This is the best one so far, but it's not like the bar was very high.
There's a plot here, and there's a character with needs and desires and struggles and all that stuff that makes for, you know, fiction.
I thought this whole series was about Ged, but now I'm not sure. I'm very confused where this is all going, and I'm still not sure what exactly this book ended with. How can Arren possibly be satisfied with what he got out of this journey? I get that Ged has a satisfying end. He defeats a demon who was metaphorically his demon, and he's old, so losing his power doesn't matter. But Arren? Also, I thought the point of the trip was to restore magic to the land. Did that actually happen?
I have no idea what's coming next, aside from when I opened the next book and saw that Tenar is back. (But why now? Why did her story not actually have a point the first time?)
