Opinion Summary
Insightful magic and poetic novel on growth of spirit
by snpmurray | Jul 23 '01
Pros: Thoughtful, mature treatment of magic and magehood
Cons: Oddly and unnecessarily targeted at teens. Surely wonderful for all!

Le Quinn, a master of sci fi prose. (Reply to this comment)

I've enjoyed all of Le Quinn's Earthsea Novels. She recently released an Earthsea anthology of sorts. New stuff I believe. If you are into socio/cultural sci-fi give "The Telling" a whirl.

It's been quite a while... (Reply to this comment)

... since I read this series, which I also discovered way back in my middle school library. At the beginning of summer, I went through LLoyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, and then tried to decide whether to reread this series or The Dark Is Rising... but since my university library doesn't seem to have TDIR, I'll probably move to this one... I didn't know there'd been an addition to the trilogy...

... though Pullman's The Golden Compass still calls me...

... thank you for sharing! ...t-žoo

Hi,

I really enjoyed this review even though I haven't read the book. I love reading almost anything. Sometimes I even get desperate and read my husband's journals and they are really boring.

I wanted to thank you for adding me to your WOT. I appreciate it. I read several of your epinions and added you to my Ptiemann Notification Site. I also added you to my WOT. I hope to read as many of your new epinions as I can. See you again. :)

you had an Otak of your own?

It's been years since I read the Earthsea series; thanks for reminding me of LeGuinn's trilogy.
