And this coming from a guy who doesn't like reading. *by A***E on Reviewed in India on 5 August 2018* Amazing book. I love her writing style. It's unique and the story gives you chills. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars a mixed bag, recommended if you want to read the last book *by P***D on Reviewed in India on 10 May 2017* The first story in the book, a novella titled The Finder, told the story of how the school of wizardry at the island of Roke came to be. I have never been much fond of creation-stories. To add to that, this seemed deliberately written to sound archaic. It was a huge put-off after my exhilarating run through the first four books of the Earthsea cycle. I abandoned the short story collection for an entire week before picking up where I had left off. The Finder was, fortunately, the only story in the book that left me deeply unsatisfied.The second story was called Darkrose and Diamond. This had the feel of a fable, still quite different from the Earthsea stories we are used to, but a form I have a personal bias for. It is a love story, the title is quite a giveaway for that, and a mature one (un-fable-like in this respect, its characters more than mere paper cut-outs.)The third story, the Bones of the Earth, is about the wizard of Re Albi and how he stopped an earthquake. I imagine people had been waiting twenty years for this tale, and with that kind of build up, I wonder if it was a thorough let down. I liked it, but only in a passing non-committal sort of way. (I realize this is turning out not into a review, but a rather rambling, offhand set of first impressions.)The fourth story, On the High Marsh, has by far the most interesting new character in this book - a secretive stranger, possibly a wizard who has lost his powers, a kind man who seeks shelter in a widow's house... sounds familiar, but the answer's not that obvious. On the High Marsh, though, shouldn't be called a 'story' in the strictest sense. It is more like an episode, a slice of life...The fifth and final story is, so I have heard, a precursor to The Other Wind, the sixth book in the series that was supposed to end at four. I have mixed opinions about this story, but as a teaser trailer for another book, I must say it has worked wonders - I am off to buy The Other Wind the moment I finish this.It is interesting how children's-book-like the series started and how it has matured over the years. Perhaps my favourite thing about the books is how gracefully its main characters have aged. The series is filled with leaps in timelines, but none seem abrupt. The characters are new and we rediscover them with every new tale. It's lovely to see... how they have changed in ways unimaginable and unalterable, out-of-character and yet character-defining... I don't remember ever reading anything so real, anything that so accurately captured growing up.The collection gets three stars, for not being as compelling a read as the rest of the books - the reasons could be entirely personal... 1. not having enough time to devote to this book 2. too much of a good thing can be bad 3. my personal preference for longer writing... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by R***L on Reviewed in Canada on 28 November 2023* The entire series is a global treasure and albeit shorter these short tales hold up just as well as the previous books! ## Frequently Bought Together - Tales from Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle) (The Earthsea Cycle, 5) - The Other Wind (The Earthsea Cycle) (The Earthsea Cycle, 6) - Tehanu (4) (Earthsea Cycle) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/177612926-tales-from-earthsea-05-the-earthsea-cycle](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/177612926-tales-from-earthsea-05-the-earthsea-cycle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
