Critics Review
[This] trilogy made me look at the world in a new way, imbued everything with a magic that was so much deeper than the magic I’d encountered before then. This was a magic of words, a magic of true speaking - Neil Gaiman
The Earthsea trilogy … is a memorable exploration of the relationship between life and death… Ged, its hero, must face his shadow self before it devours him. Only then will he become whole. In the process, he must contend with the wisdom of dragons: ambiguous and not our wisdom, but wisdom nonetheless - Margaret AtwoodA Wizard of Earthsea reads like the retelling of a tale first told centuries ago, and whose twists and turns have been handed down through generations of storytellers. It is timeless… . Le Guin’s words are magical. Drink this magic up. Drown in it. Dream it - David Mitchell, author of Cloud AtlasAbout The Author
