We continue our journey into short stories around Earthsea by finishing book five, Tales from Earthsea. Expect an unexpected (and rather passionate) rant from Queen Tay on the danger of bovine companions. And, not to be outperformed, Queen Marissa monologues about a rose, Shakespeare, and symbolism. We're traveling the sky and sea in this one, so come prepared for home safety tips, discussions of bad boys, and of course, a look at your next bit of homework. Or, in other words, join us as we wrap up the second last book in the Earthsea Series, Tales from Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin.
In the last bit of the podcast, we review the book and then play a game: DND Classes! Finally, we end off with our fave and least fave characters.
The next episode of this podcast will be out on November 1, 2025 and will cover the first three chapters of the final instalment in the series, The Other Wind by Ursula Le Guin.
