Oddly enough, the only book in the series that I actually enjoyed. The plot is strong in this one, and the characters are interesting and function together really well. I love the father/son theme going with Ged and Arren. There's still some good internal conflict in this, with characters growing and developing, but the external conflict is wonderful. This one's a keeper! Review: Refreshing and succinct - In a genre dominated by 800+ page tomes, this book was a refreshing and delightful read. Ursula Le Guin is a master of flowing, lyrical prose. The book is relatively brief, but chock full of all the elements that are required for a great fantasy story. She accomplishes this feat by keeping things simple and uncluttered. She doesn't need an appendix to list all the characters and their relation to one another. Her world is well-realized, her characters well-fleshed out, and the story captures you from the first pages. Take a break from the massive tales of Jordan and Martin et al. (not that there's anything wrong with them) and read an author whose writing is as magical as her story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,361,876 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #137 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature #864 in Epic Fantasy (Books) #958 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Book 3 of 6 | The Earthsea Cycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,888) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 0.7 x 7.5 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | Grade level | 7 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 0689845340 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0689845345 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | September 1, 2001 | | Publisher | S&S/Saga Press | | Reading age | 12 - 17 years | ## Images ![The Farthest Shore (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fvjKuiXqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great! *by C***W on May 21, 2024* Honestly one of my favorite books of all time.

Ursula Le Guin is a master of flowing, lyrical prose. The book is relatively brief, but chock full of all the elements that are required for a great fantasy story. She accomplishes this feat by keeping things simple and uncluttered. She doesn't need an appendix to list all the characters and their relation to one another.

(not that there's anything wrong with them) and read an author whose writing is as magical as her story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Third but not least of Earthsea cycle *by P***L on February 14, 2017* A lyrical book with with empathic characters and luscious language. There's pace, adventure, a magical universe where powers are part of the tapestry of a land of archipelagoes, varied peoples and their cultures, and a suspenseful plot. Sparrowhawk's engagement with dragons and their interlinked history with human heroes of the land is wonderful. Again youth and age, naivete and power, bewilderment and deep knowledges are spun side by side. But it's not Smurftown. We learn there's a price to pay whether things work out or don't. There's a Taoist dark and light equilibrium at stake the whole time. We follow a far-flung terrain as well as the heroes, from unknowing to knowing, from starting out to fulfilling their destinies, as time and experiences build them, or destroy them, we want them to survive. This time the young side-kick is a prince who's destiny isn't to be a mage, but a King. Touchingly he works this out for himself with Sparrowhawk the Archmage reinforcing the positives of his future, but first the Quest. The Archmage here hunts a nemesis that's sucking the life and light out of the world and its people in a bid to be immortal. Interestingly the book suggests a connection between the magical arts and artful production. Thinking about it gets you believing in your powers again. Ursula Le Guin started out in the 1960s (I think) and didn't stop. Just glad I found her in time to plunge my thirsty imagination into her sparkling pools. I'll follow her anywhere. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11607186-the-farthest-shore-the-earthsea-cycle-book-3](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11607186-the-farthest-shore-the-earthsea-cycle-book-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
