Okay, THIS is what I thought Earthsea would be! An epic, timeless familiarity with Narnia & Middle Earth yet completely original, fresh, and wise. There were several passages like this one I had to stop to treasure. I loved Arren (and his crush) and his (denied) influence on Harry Potter was clear to me. I think he makes a better entry point to the series. Unpopular opinion: this should be the first book in the trilogy and the first two prequels.
