There is something about her cadence that is just so serene and breathtakingly beautiful. Prefer the first book, but still loved it. Timeless and captivating

Ged, now wiser after book 1, stumbles into rescuing a priestess trapped by circumstance. The first half of the book tells us how bored the protagonist is. Unfortunately, so was this reader, and the latter half wasn't enough to move the needle much.

There is heart, love and understanding in this book. Fear of the unknown and a beautiful coming of age story. Ursula warms my heart every time.

1. Very boring. Whole novel felt like setup. Only finished it so I could read the next one.
