grumpusgoblin 's review for:
The Farthest Shore
by Ursula K. Le Guin
Wonderful rereading this years later with my fantasy book club and I gained a lot more with a second perspective. The themes of immortality, cheating death, all very familiar (i.e. Voldemort). But it's all contextualized and made that much more interesting because of Ged's and Arren's friendship throughout this final sea adventure. I love that we've seen Ged in three separate stages of his life: brash youth, accomplished mid-life wizard, and finally, his last year as Archmage. The beauty and poetry of Le Guin's writing reigns supreme as always and reading her older works never ceases to lift me out of darkness and into what is right, what is beautiful, and what is meaningful.
