Hard to rate a collection of short stories, the foreward was excellent though. 

The Finder, The Bones of the Earth and Dragonfly were all very good. On the High Marsh was alright, but Darkrose and Diamond was so-so. 

History of Earthsea is useful reference material, less good for just reading in one go :P
