Book: A Wizard of Earthsea

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was fantastic!

If i have read Le Guin before, I do not remember it.

This was the FIRST fantasy novel of its kind written expressly for teens though I see it as more universal than that. It is the story of Ged, a young sorcerer who learns how little he knows when he attempts things beyond his skill or knowledge and creates a shadow that he must deal with before he can do anything.

several people at the book group that I am in found it old fashioned but I found it wonderful without all the flowery and useless language of modern fantasy.

Loved it and will read more Le Guin.
