Ursula K. Le Guin: The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (Earthsea Cycle) (Hardcover, 2018, Gallery / Saga Press) No rating

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the timeless and beloved A Wizard of Earthsea—“…reads like the …

I've finished the third and fourth entries of the saga.

In "The Farthest Shore" the magic is running out of the world; Ged and the prince of Enlad part in an adventure to find out what the problem is. It's a book full of adventure, visiting many Islands in the archipelago.

In contrast, "Tehanu" has a slower pace. It's a fantasy novel in which dragons and magic are not in the foreground. It answers the question How does the dispossessed, children, women, handicapped, live in a world with magic? And doing so makes you think about the power relations in the so called real world.
