Ursula K. Le Guin is a phenomenal young adult fantasy author, and A Wizard of Earthsea is a prime example. You've probably read books about old, ancient wizards, now follow a young, sometimes foolish one as he grows into his powers.

Read it many years ago and loved. Not enjoying it now. Too many place names and Ged is petulant

I remember this book being so much more magical when I read it as a kid? I think this may have been an instance where the reader also unfortunately negatively affected my experience of the audiobook - I did not want to continue listening to them so I DNF this. But am holding space to revisit in another capacity because I thought this was one of my favourite books growing up???
