Nice link for UKL fans. Hand drawn maps from the author herself.

Thanks Kyle. I like her books very much, but haven't yet read the EarthSea trilogy. Are the maps not included in the books, or are they hard to read?

Seems like a lot of land for a place called Earthsea.

I havn't read Earthsea (will do it over winter break probably) but I am reading Lathe of Heaven for an English class right now. I am so impressed with the book and went to her website. Great stuff for wiriters on there, lots of tips and help for young writiers.

Let us know what you think of the book, I know it but haven't read it yet. I have however, read 2 of her Nebula/Hugo winners and they were outstanding.

Left Hand of Darkness

The Dispossessed

Janny Wurts does some nice maps for her Mistwraith series as well.

I read The Disposessed and it was all right, but for the life of me I couldn't get through The Left Hand of Darkness.

The Mistwraith map is pretty cool. I love that font. A nice basic map for use inside a novel, or as a example of how a cartographer in that world might draw out a basic map. Good stuff.

Well, you're not the only one.

Personally, I thought it was one of the best books I have ever read. Though it's been a very long time since I read it.
