The Farthest Shore

So, this is the third in the original trilogy. (In later years, there are more books.) I read A Wizard of Earthsea so long ago that I don't remember it; just that sense of having liked it. I read the Tombs of Atuan more recently and it was pretty good, and now I have read The Farthest Shore. It is a good story, a quest across the archipelago of Earthsea. It has a wizard, Sparrowhawk, Gandalf-like; a boy prince, who comes to manhood; and there are dragons. Le Guin's prose is lyrical and the story is somber - If it were a concerto or a sonata it would be in a minor key.
