i really enjoyed reading this! felt nostalgic, like something my dad would have read me when i was a kid. seems like it would be enjoyable for people of any age.
pace is a bit slow, but i enjoyed the attention to world-building and relatively low stakes.

It's narrated as a biography of the great wizard Sparrowhawk. It has a distant feeling as if you were looking at the events through a veil. I enjoyed it regardless, the characters' motivations felt genuine, and I noticed homoromantic undertones in the interactions between the protagonist and his best friend.
There's a reason this one is a classic.
