Rezensionen
The world of Earthsea has been widely known since Le Guin's original publication in 1968 and paved the way for non-Tolkienian fantasy novels for decades. Fordham's artistic vision will bring in a new generation of fans with vivid colors, dialogue-driven pages, and fast pacing...Fantasy lovers and art lovers alike will make this graphic version of the classic novel a highly sought-after addition to library shelves. - School Library Journal
