    The sorcerer Alder fears sleep. He dreams of the land of death, of his wife who died young and longs to return to him so much that she kissed him across the low stone wall that separates our world from the Dry Land, where the grass is withered, the stars never move, and lovers pass without knowing each other. The dead are pulling Alder to them at night. Through him they may free themselves and invade Earthsea.

    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    There are four or five narrators involved. They seem to change randomly from scene to scene, as if one narrator got bored and the next one came in to relieve him. You don't get a consistent narrator that you can just tune out nor do you get the performance value of actors voicing different parts. This was so distracting that I could not finish the book.
