This wasn't what I expected, but it was okay. I think it was really well-written and the world-building was intriguing (if a bit much, I don't know how much detail I needed on every sailing trip that was taken and which islands were passed etc), but I found it to be quite slow and I don't know how much I cared for Ged. Vetch and Jasper were more interesting characters to me where Ged felt a bit...vapid and surface-level where I would have liked to read more about Vetch and Jasper. But I guess it was interesting to read Ged's character journey throughout the book.
