All the books of Earthsea in one volume plus extra material. I admit that I prefer the first three books more but all of them are at least good.

This edition is magical. Being able to read the whole series, plus thoughts from Le Guin, and extra short stories at the end made reading this an experience.

I loved delving into this magical world Le Guin created. Each and every character was fascinating and strong in their own right. It was also cool seeing how Le Guin changed as a writer and hearing her thoughts on the books. Several of the books were a 5 stars but some were a 4 so my final rating is a 4.5. 10/10 would recommend this massive book.
