Earthsea: The First Four Books by Ursula K. Le Guin

adventurous

3.0

It includes the first four books in the series so I rated them separately as well.

1. A Wizard Of Earthsea - 2 ⭐

That was the worst of the four in my opinion, it felt unnecessarily long (even though it's not that long) and barely anything happened. If I read it as an individual book I would most likely not continue the series.

2. The Tombs Of Atuan - 3,5 ⭐

This one was considerably more fun, I liked the setting and the characters. The plot wasn't much but overall a very enjoyable story.

3. The Farthest Shore - 2,25 ⭐

This one was just a very long journey, very atmosphere and I quite liked the new character but that's all.

4. Tehanu - 3,75 ⭐

That was a very strong ending to the quartet. Seeing these characters together again after so many years was interesting and heartening.

 I don't have much to say about the book as a whole. The writing was good but not my cup of tea. My main complaint is that it was too long. If I only read the first and the fourth book maybe I would like it more
