Tales From Earthsea by Ursula K. Leguin

Tales From Earthsea
by Ursula K. Leguin

I first read the Earthsea Trilogy over 40 years ago and enjoyed the series immensely. It was only recently that I discovered that she wrote three more books in the series nearly twenty years ago. I just finished the last of these, “Tales from Earthsea,” which provides some ‘prequel’ stories to give the reader background for the earlier books. Of these last three books, this was by far the best one. Characters were well developed and the new stories were gripping. I especially liked “Bones of the Earth.” I only wish that LeGuin would have written more of these! Author Ursula LeGuin died this past January 2018 and left an amazing legacy of books for her fans to enjoy for years to come.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Riddle Master of Hed, by Patricia McKillip, the Temeraire series, by Naomi Novik, the Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling or The Left Hand of Darkness, by Urusla K. Leguin.]
