About this listen
Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth.
Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

The narrator’s beautiful voice.
I’ve always loved this story, mysterious and dark, with its uplifting ending. Kobna Holdbrook-Smith brings it to life in a way that enhances its magical allure.

Good book, okay reader
Read the books many times and really enjoy it. Reader sound a bit put on/forced/whispery/raspy. Got better after a struggle of foreword and first chapter.

The audiobook version that Earthsea deserves
I'm really enjoying this, Holdbook-Smith has a brilliant voice, very deep and rumbly and sensitive. His narration has a lot of gravitas and grace, that such an incredible story as Earthsea deserves.

Great book - a classic!
Revisiting this story from long ago, and it still holds the same magical narrative. Not anything thrilling like todays fast action genres but a lovely piece of literature.
