ged hard carried this book for me tbh! like the storytelling itself wasn't BAD don't get me wrong but he was such a compelling protagonist and if the main character had been someone more boring then i fear i would have dnf'd this........ just a very wordy book with a lot of worldbuilding the characters are really what got me thru this one

In A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin, Ged enters wizard school and becomes a young boy with an innate ability in casting spells into a fully fledged wizard. However, he makes a big mistake and suffers the consequences. 

He follows the shadow creature that he released across his known world and out to the edges of the open sea of Earthsea, in his attempt to correct his terrible mistake, regardless of what the cost will be. 

This was an different read for me, as I am not a fan of reading fantasy books. I gave it 3 stars.

I only don't give this a 5 because I was a bit irritated by some of the inconsistent naming conventions/ unbelievable names. Otherwise, it's some of the best in the genre, which is especially amazing considering it's also seminal in the genre. Comforting, warm, and the language is beautiful.
