DNF. I don’t know if it’s because I read it as an audiobook but this didn’t feel the way everyone says Le Guin’s books are meant to make you feel. I’ll give another of her’s a try at some other point but disappointed about this!
Also so many Welsh accents throughout the audio!? Did I miss that this is a Welsh book or???

I picked this one up as part of a list of prolific authors I wanted to read, and I'm glad I was introduced to Le Guin! I have in recent months already come to the conclusion that fantasy just isn't a favorite genre for me, so I struggled to be very interested in the plot and world here. However, I found the writing itself to be very intriguing, and the suspense buildup for the main character was really well done! I don't know if I'll pick up the rest of this series, but I am interested in trying other genres from Le Guin.

It's always surprising to find something that you've clearly seen referenced elsewhere. Like not watching mission impossible until a few years ago and marvelling at the CIA heist that was copied by so many other movies and shows.
Anyway this is like that but specifically for having read the Kingkiller Chronicle first. Kvothe owes so much to Ged.

Going by the page numbers, I knew this would be a quick read. I didn't expect it to be as engaging a read as it ended up being, though! This was delightful in every sense of the fantasy genre, a page-turner that did not hold back the harsh realities of living, even if spells solving your every need can be cast with just a word.
I'm glad that I bought a collection of the first four books, as I will absolutely be reading those as well over the course of the year. I'm going to smash that 2025 reading goal!!

4.5. Feia temps que no gaudia tant llegint un llibre, m'ha agradat bastant la traducció i tot i ser diferent del que m'esperava m'ha agradat molt la història. Estic desitjant llegir més llibres de Le Guin :)
