A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

adventurous challenging mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

le guin has a distinctively dense written prose which i struggle to unpick.  nonetheless earthsea comes alive through her sensory descriptions: a mysterious backdrop for ged’s coming of age story.
