2022 book 1

 Ursula K. LeGuin's The Farthest Shore

The third Earthsea book is a bit darker than the first two, as Ged, now the highest mage in the land, takes a young prince on a journey to find out why the world's magic is going missing and why people seem to be sinking into depression and insanity. And maybe the journey has another purpose too. I’m not super partial to books where people are journeying around all the time, but this has some cool dragons, and I like older Ged a lot (the prince is fine, the usual YA character learning and growing etc). Solid all around. A-/B+.
