Book 6 in the Earthsea series. This book is more of a diatribe than adventure novel. It is more like reminisces. It is like an extension of the end of Tales from Earthsea. I had a hard time keeping interested and found myself mentally roaming. Of the series this was the hard one for me to get through. If you need to finish the series then read it, but overall this book is a tough sell from the stories that proved it.
