I've been putting this one off for a while, because I knew it was a collection of stories versus an actual novel. I'm generally much pickier about short story collections and have a harder time keeping my interest in them.This was really well done though. Parts were less interesting than others, but overall the quality was on par with the first four books of Earthsea. It gets away from the harsh realism of the last book, Tehanu, and it gets back to the magical mysticism of the original EarthseaTales from Earthsea is an anthology of five stories that take place at various time periods before, during, and after the previous four books. In the authors introduction, she says these stories should be read after the first four books. I would definitely agree; I think some of these stories would be less meaningful without already knowing how they fit into the larger story. I normally find anthologies to be pretty unsatisfying, because the stories are so short and I like longer, meatier
The more I read Le Guin the less I like her writing. She has no sense of pacing or plotting whatsoever, leaving the single "event" of each book or story until the last few pages, reached only after a slow and tedious preamble in which the characters sit around doing nothing (as if that's a plot point or an action of its own), and somehow we're supposed to identify with them in their non-quest for nothing. Some of her characters show promise, but we never see it come to true fruition.I appreciate
This was a bit hit and miss, with a couple of stories being really interesting, while three of them were rather mediocre and forgettable imo. But overall Le Guins prose is beautiful and clear, and Ive enjoyed listening to her words narrated by Jenny Sterlin while going through the Earthsea books.

Technically, Tales from Earthsea was the fifth book written as part of Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle, but it doesn't follow the story that began with A Wizard of Earthsea chronologically. It does, however, provide some fascinating background information and "history" for the world of Earthsea.::: Tales? :::Tales from Earthsea contains several different tales: a novella, four short stories, and a "history" of the world of Earthsea. The novella is called The Finder, and tells the story of
