Book Review of A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, Bk 1)

A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, Bk 1)
reviewed on


This book is just a bit too fantasy for my taste. I did love the overall story arc and certain elements of self discovery. I liked how she dealt with balance and unpacking what it means to have 'light and dark.' However Other incidents and characters in the book just felt like this was really just a forward to a longer story to come. I just never really invested in the main character and there was an incident part way through the book which (without any spoilers) caused me to emotionally check out of the book. I will read more of her books, just not this series.
