Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time
Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.

Historia
Once there were three worlds, each with their own human species. Then, fleeing out of the void came a fourth species, the Charon. Desperate, on the edge of extinction, they changed the balance between the worlds forever. Karan, a sensitive with a troubled heritage, is forced to steal an ancient relic in repayment of a debt. It turns out to be the Mirror of Aachan, a twisted, deceitful thing that remembers everything it has ever seen.

Historia
Long ago when the Earth was flat, beautiful, indifferent Gods lived in the airy Upperearth realm above; curious, passionate demons lived in the exotic Underearth realm below; and mortals were relegated to exist in the middle. Azhrarn, Lord of the Demons and the Darkness, was the one who ruled the night, and many mortal lives were changed because of his cruel whimsy. And yet, Azhrarn held inside his demon heart a profound mystery which would change the very fabric of the Flat Earth forever.

Before the Riders came to their remote valley, the Yendri led a tranquil, pastoral life. When the Riders conquered and enslaved them, only a few escaped to the forests. Rebellion wasn't the Yendri way; they hid, or passively resisted, taking consolation in the prophecies of their spiritual leader. Only one possessed the necessary rage to fight back: Gard the foundling, half-demon, who began a one-man guerrilla war against the Riders.

Historia
Highly acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin lends a resonant voice to a pivotal yet often overlooked character of Vergil's The Aeneid. Born into peace and freedom, Lavinia is stunned to learn that she will be the cause of a great war - or so the prophecies and omens claim. Her fate is sealed, however, when she meets a man from Troy.

Historia
From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, and with an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts - always adroit, often acerbic - on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin has taken listeners to imaginary worlds for decades. Now she's in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice - sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical - shines. No Time to Spare collects the best of Ursula's blog, presenting perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters.

Historia
A must-listen collection, Words Are My Matter is a manual for investigating the depth and breadth of contemporary fiction - and, through the lens of deep considerations of contemporary writing, a way of exploring the world we are all living in. "We need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art. Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximize corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship."

In the vein of Tolkien
I first found this story because I love the reader. I thoroughly enjoyed his reading of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I found LeGuin’s writing to be similar but without all the added poetry and songs. This series is a delightful adventure. Enjoy entering the land and waters of the Earthsea.

Simplistic but Well Written Story
The story centers mainly on one location and the main protagonist along with only a few more persons, but it is well done. Is gives a bit of background to one of the side-stories in book 1. The narrator, Inglis, is great as always.

Love The Earthsea Series
This series was my first introduction to Ursula K. LeGuin. I read A Wizard of Earthsea in high school and just kept going from there. Hearing it again reminded me how much I like these stories.
The narrator could have used different intonations for the characters more but his voice had a good cadence to it

A deeply spiritual tale
It is rich with allusions to Tolkien, Christian theology, and, I think specifically Catholic teaching. I do not know the author’s religion, but this is what I think. It begins darkly and slowly but rewards the reader’s patience with joy and beauty in the end. I first read it as a teenager but had forgotten it completely.

I love understated nuance
I still love this series of books, written deceptively simply, with such nuggets of character that I can listen and David the excellent narration

In Some Ways, the Best of the Original Trilogy
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you liked The Wizard of Earthsea, this is a must-read sequel. I love how LeGuin pulls on a few threads from the first novel but mostly departs into a completely different tale ... in tone, structure, plot, and even in geography. Marginalizing Ged as a character until halfway through is a brilliant stroke and gives us a new character to care about in the form of a young girl, chosen one of the old powers of the Earth. The result is powerful ... lyrical, dusky, narrow in scope. Wow. It probably works best for young adults, as a coming of age story for girls. But it has a universal appeal.

wonderful experience.
I love all the E arthsea tales. This is a sweet episode. Tenar and Ged are a wonderful heroic pair. Great archetypal story. Well read. Starting volume III, The Farthest Shore, without a break. Highly recommended!

Slow start, sluggish finish
This book feels very different from book 1. In book 1, you had a constant sense that something was happening--the plot was constantly moving forward. With book 2, you plod along until the 38% mark before things start happening. It's when the story truly begins. The first 38% is backstory. This is also not an action adventure, it's almost all character development, with maybe one scene of pseudo-action. Your heart never pounds, and there's never any nail-biting moments. This isn't bad, just different. That said, I have to rate the overall story at 3 stars, and it really only gets that because the writing is so excellent. The story was fairly boring to me, unfortunately. Your milage may vary.
The narrator was excellent.

Pretty good
Story was pretty good, the narration was great! The only annoying thing with that it had never been converted from a cassette tape and had some positive and asked me to switch sides. This is pretty confusing the first time rounds

Classic and enchanting masterpiece!
One of the best stories told from the early era of modern Fantasy writing. Worth every bit of storage space it takes and more to download this audiobook.
Only criticism is the dramatization of Sparrowhawk's voice. Too deep and ponderous.
