Kind of hard to approach this book written almost 60 years ago. A lot of firsts. One of the first brown-skin main character in the budding UK/Northern European centered fantasy genre, multiple black characters.. It's weird that it's so.. formulaic in a way that's hard to describe. I guess that's the main problem with reading the precursors well after reading/watching/playing all of the stories that took Earthsea's colors and painted an infinity of other things with it. 

Still a pretty good read, and a short one so definitely worth.
