A review by vampfang
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

3.0

it took me a while to get into this since i never had time to read it so i only read it in little chunks. i enjoyed it, but it never really hooked me. i stopped halfway through and when i came back to it a month later i enjoyed it more, but after the part in the castle i found it to be a lot slower-paced and didn't really enjoy that. it's a sweet story, but i like a faster-paced book. maybe i'd like it more if i reread it. i also wish there were more female characters in the story, le guin herself admits that it's pretty male dominated. i wanted more time to be spent on ged's time training on roke, but a lot of that just felt like summary so that was kind of disappointing.
