Oh man. I was so excited to read this. I’d heard such good things. And Im genuinely angry at myself for finding it absolutely boring 😭 I just didn’t care about any of the characters at all and these big significant things happened so quickly with no buildup and the were over. Didn’t help that my audiobook narrator was giving National Geographic more than YA Fantasy. I genuinely feel bad reviewing it this way 😅

Listened to this on audiobook as I feel asleep at night. A story with great imagery and sort of relaxing feel of older fantasy. Really exciting world building, very pro-boat book. Lots of boats, that is. Not a super interesting magic system, as regards the magic in the book. Very interesting boats interacting with magic system. A good and serviceable hero's journey, complete with a deep reckoning with ego and such.

In my opinion the best of the Earthsea series. Full of adventures, generous with the reader.

No wonder this is so beloved. Le Guin brings a mythic quality to her delightful fantasy tale, giving the feeling of a saga or song of heroes long past from a faraway culture. The world she crafts is so real and tangible, and her vision of magic as song and language is singular. A must read and I feel dumb for waiting on it.
