- pmoriarty 5y agoI never even got to the later Earthsea books. I absolutely loved and treasured The Wizard of Earthsea, which I've read and reread many times over my life (something I almost never do with any books). The other two books in the trilogy: The Tombs of Atuan and The Furthest Shore were pretty disappointing to me, so I stopped reading Le Guin after that.
- bnralt 5y agoThe two earliest Earthsea short stories, The Word of Unbinding and The Rule of Names, are worth reading if you liked the more high-fantasy focus of the first book.
