I love how each of these books has a different young character to journey along with. And i'm glad that Ged is in all of the books as well. This one started off a little slow for me and i didn't feel for Arren at first, but as Ged really started to love him, so did i. 
 I love the dragons, i love the good-vs.-evil sort of premise and the moral we end up with, i love everything about Earthsea. I'm on board for the last book and maybe even the Tales as well, even though i don't like short stories as a rule.
