My time to revisit Earthsea has come, and I had the privilege to read The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin this time around.

And I’m inclined to say that perhaps this book is more of a must-read than his previous Stormlight novella, Edgedancer.

Jumping back into Chamber’s Wayfarer’s series is like reuniting with a friend with who you can be truly vulnerable.

Underneath the layers of hooks that this series uses to draw you in is the beginnings of an AI story of self-discovery.

The story pushes the boundary of what I thought could be done in a YA book.

The first two novels of the series were comparatively intimate in scope, and in this story, we expand the world and branch more into epic storytelling.

What if you had a chance to wipe the slate clean? What if you could go back and take a path you wish you’d taken long ago? Could you defy fate or would fate win out?

What’s the most important step that a man can take?

This short, ten thousand word story displayed a knack for strong characterization and humor.

If you know this classic story and want to read a masterful retelling, give this one a try.

Loren must finally, truly be the Nightblade.

While I intended to re-read this novel this year (2020), it was well-timed considering the viral outbreak in the actual world.
