A fitting ending to the second trilogy of Earthsea, shame that it changed narrator along the way

I loved the deep elderly voice of the previous narrator which lent gravitas to the characters and she was female evoking the viewpoint Ursula Le Guin had chosen for this changing world she created.

I was disappointed to find that this narrator was a male then I got used to his voice and was able to ignore the change, up to the point when he started mixing up the characters voices (e.g. using the same soft lighter voice for a male character previously depicted with a deeper voice, just after he used for a female character), he did not distinguish enough the voices between the various characters but mostly what annoyed me was how he pronounced the name “Irian” sometimes as “E”r”e”an (as in the sound for “e”mail) and others like “I”r”I”an as in the sound “I” from “I” am.

The story links all the trilogy elements together not in a suffocating mail chain but in an exquisitely Woven tapestry. The “Equilibrium” is re-established. Though I expected that it would be clearly stated that women would be accepted back into Roke so that yet another division could be healed.
