About this listen

Eighteen years have passed, and it is time for another Earthsea adventure! We meet new characters, begin a new quest and new questions are raised for Queen Tay like how many people know Ged's true name? And what is with people kissing other people's eyes? Queen Marissa is jotting down an old woman's poetic rant as she backs away slowly and the Queens discover their Celtic tree zodiacs. So climb aboard our boat as we set sail with The Farthest Shore by Ursula Le Guin, book three of the Earthsea Series.

This episode concludes with a game where the Queens help our characters curate the perfect sailing playlist for their long journey, as well as Marissa and Tay's best and worst character rankings.
