About this listen
The sorcerer Alder fears sleep. The dead are pulling him to them at night. Through him they may free themselves and invade Earthsea.
Alder seeks advice from Ged, once Archmage. Ged tells him to go to Tenar, Tehanu, and the young king at Havnor. They are joined by amber-eyed Irian, a fierce dragon able to assume the shape of a woman.
The threat can be confronted only in the Immanent Grove on Roke, the holiest place in the world, and there the king, hero, sage, wizard, and dragon make a last stand.
In this final book of the Earthsea Cycle, Le Guin combines her magical fantasy with a profoundly human, earthly, humble touch.

Great book, lousy narrator
Loved the story. It really tied up the series nicely. But the narrator pronounces the same name in three different ways throughout the book. Sometimes in the same paragraph, he switches pronunciation! How is that mentally possible for him? It’s really jarring.

A truly great conclusion to the world of Earthsea
Samuel Roukin does a great performance of this book.
As far as the content goes I feel like this story was more of a response to the confusion from Tehanu, since Ursula K. Le Guin mentioned she didn't intend to write anymore of this story and some fans weren't very pleased with the previous installment, although I thought it was great and made the world much more fleshed out.
However, it was a great conclusion to the world as a whole and left me feeling pretty sad in the end. I will never not be amazed by the depth Le Guin dedicates to her stories, she truly had an amazing mind.

Excellent conclusion to the Earthsea Cycle
I definitely recommend listening or reading this novel yourself. It’s an excellent book. The narrator, unfortunately, fails to make Tenar a contiguous character as presented by the two previous narrators. She seems weak and passive in this performance, which is not how she is written or performed in the previous audiobooks. Also, the narrator alternates his pronunciations of various names which is confusing and somewhat annoying. I much preferred the previous readers’ performances and wish this one was at the standard of the first four. Nevertheless, still worth a listen.
