Return to Earthsea with Ged, the brash young wizard who survived the enchanted labyrinth of The Tombs of Atuan. In the third episode of this brilliant fantasy saga, a much older Ged sets off on a harrowing quest for the source of a terrible darkness that is taking the magic out of Earthsea.

"Lovely voice"
This is my first audiobook: I bought it by accident! But a real treat in the evening to listen quietly with my eyes closed and imagine the magical world. I read the 1st book (also terrific) but this was so relaxing, even better than watching TV ( although it will take some doing to convince my husband!).
Mr Inglis did all of the characters quite well-- he has a beautiful voice--but I imagined Sparrowhawk a bit younger ( but the sexiness was in there!)
Very nice experience for my first audiobook!
"A nice wrap up but a bit predictable and tapers of"
While I've enjoyed this series I started to feel it was dragging a bit in the previous book, and with this one that became more true. There are some interesting sections and creative characters and cultures but overall I was far from transfixed. An entertaining enough read for me to finish, but far from an edge of my seat kind of listen.
