Truly such a wonderful book! Le Guin's world building is really captivating as always.
I especially loved The Tombs of Atuan - the character development of Tenar was very satisfying, and I enjoyed the descriptions of the surroundings.
I did struggle to get through The Farthest Shore, mostly because Arren was a very frustrating character to read, and the ending felt a little anticlimactic.
I really enjoyed the fact that the stories - while still amazing on their own - built upon each other while giving you an insight into the very separate lives of the characters. Ged was a constant, linking the stories together, but he wasn't the sole focus and his fame and power within the world didn't detract from the other characters' experiences.
