A review by readwithgabrielle
The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.0

Read this for class but honestly was so good! The inspiration Le Guin pulled from Tolkien and TH White (Arthurian king/wizard shtick) is super evident but the twist she gives her tale is soooo refreshing and cool! Also this is clearly the taproot text for so many recent fantasy series—starting with Harry Potter and even shadow and bone. Each of the three books are super short and while this book was for young readers, the themes it covers make it so relevant even for new adult and YAL.
