A change of pace this week for Easter: Ursula K. Last weekend I watched the Studio Ghibli Tales of Earthsea — which has its moments but is not up to the usual stratospheric Ghibli standards. Le Guin agreed. It did, however, prompt me to turn to the trilogy once again.
I picked it up with hazy memories about certain plot points, and was not disappointed by any part of it. The writing is superbly poetic, the plots are fast-paced and unusual, and the world-building is deft and convincing. So many ideas here have been copied — a young boy going to a school for wizards; a wise and powerful order striving to keep the balance against the dark side — but the books still feel fresh and original fifty years on.
An interesting challenge. An accomplished wizard seems to be able to attempt almost anything, if he is strong enough and is willing to accept the consequences, so part of the fun would be dealing with those consequences.
Each success produces the seeds of later trouble. There is an Earthsea-inspired game, Archipelago , but I have not yet looked at it. I know that Le Guin later revisited Earthsea decades later. I found it unsettling to read Tehanu immediately after the original trilogy; not only is it extremely dark, Le Guin so sharply questions some of the implicit perspectives of the previous books that she implicitly criticises herself for having written them, and the reader for having enjoyed them.

The Earthsea Trilogy
The Earthsea Cycle , also known simply as Earthsea , is a series of high fantasy books written by the American writer Ursula K. Le Guin. In the series, Earthsea is a vast archipelago surrounded by an uncharted ocean. Unusually for a series, Tales from Earthsea is a short story collection; the rest are novels. There are also four additional short stories not in Tales from Earthsea.
