wizard of earthsea - good, but predictable
the tombs of atuan - intresting, I liked it
the farthest shore - probably my least favourite of the four
tehanu - slightly mixed feelings about some parts, but might be my favourite?? very different to the others
I rarely get on too well with classics, and this was far from 5 stars, but still very good. World building was great, felt a little unoriginal, but it was written *before* most of the other fantasy that feels similar, so credit where credit is due.
I read for fun, so I rate books based on my enjoyment of them. This book is hard to rate - not just because it's actually 4 books which are all very different. Maybe I rated it too low, maybe I'll edit it later
