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

2.0

Unfortunately, A Wizard of Earthsea was a slog to get through. While it probably was innovative when it was written in 1968, in 2020 it feels old and pompous. The "paid by the word" feel makes the book more confusing than it needs to be and prevented me from connecting with the characters. Pick this one up only if you're looking for a classic feeling epic fantasy.
