I enjoyed this a lot! Listened to the audio book version as I drove. I don’t think this was the most exciting fantasy and there were many cliches, but it was a nice cozy listen.

This book took me on a nice little journey exploring a world both internally (through Ged's character) and externally. I liked the story, it was an interesting plot but the writing was a bit difficult for me to get into. I found myself skimming through certain paragraphs to get to the more 'exciting' scenes which weren't too many.

I believe this book could be considered middle-grade and I would recommend it to those wishing to read a clean, high-fantasy story.
