Finished up Farthest Shore. Absolutely wonderful prose. Social commentary felt heavier handed than in early books, but earnest. Great youth/mentor relationship. The exploration of a world losing its magic - the forgetfulness, loss of skill and mastery, absence of both grief and hope, the grey- really gave a lot of perfect language around depression. Resonated with a lot of memories. Getting a lot out of adult reread
