Loved the prose in this one, I could completely imagine myself walking in the dark tombs with Tenar. But, it was hard to get through the beginning though because I was waiting for Ged to make a reappearance.

Also, the reason I can't give this 5 stars is that the magic system was not expanded or talked about very much. I loved it a lot in the last book, so I'm disappointed we didn't get more talk about that.
