The Farthest Shore - Earthsea Cycle, Bk 3
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle has become one of the best-loved fantasies of our time.  The windswept world of Earthsea is one of the greatest creations in all fantasy literature, frequently compared with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth or C.S. Lewis' Narnia.  The magnificent saga begins with A Wizard Of Eart...  more »,  continues in The Tombs Of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, and concludes with Tehanu -- each book a treasure of wisdom, wonder, and literary wizardry.  The magic had gone out of the world.  All over Earthsea the mages had forgotten their spells, the springs of wizardry were running dry.  Ged, Dragonlord and Archmage, set out with Arren, a highborn young prince, to seek the source of the darkness.  This is the tale of their harrowing journey beyond the shores of death to heal a wounded land.

DARKNESS THREATENS to overtake Earthsea. As the world and its wizards are losing their magic, Ged -- powerful Archmage, wizard, and dragonlord -- embarks on a sailing journey with highborn young prince, Arren. They travel far beyond the realm of death to discover the cause of these evil disturbances and to restore magic to a land desperately thirsty for it.

This is a very good book in an excellent series. It's entertaining with a depth that I've come to expect from Ursula Le Guin. This book makes you think, really think, about the concept of living forever. Would life still be as sweet, as enjoyable, if you could never die? Read it. It's worth it.
