Currently re-reading Tales of Earthsea, just finished The Other Wind (both by Ursula Le Guin, of course). Le Guin is not to everyone's taste, but I particularly like these two books, because she revisits the whole Earthsea mythos and reinterprets it. The first books, while they had an original setting, were a bit stereotypical in some of their assumptions (e.g. all wizards are men). In these two books she revisits those assumptions, in ways that make them make sense for the original trilogy, but deepen and broaden the view of Earthsea as a real-feeling place.
