Absolutely outstanding in every metric. This is the Earthsea series coming into its own. Le Guin's prose is remarkably thoughtful and her attention to the details of human behavior and the intricacy of Earthsea's ecosystem had my jaw on the floor on multiple occasions. The character development is realistic and culminates in moments that had me choked up and covered in goodebumps. Top notch.
