A truly exceptional book. To call it simple is unfair, but is almost sparse. At the same time it can transport you to the world like few books can. I cannot believe I didn't read this years ago.

I absolutely love Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea cycle. It's like every word, although very understandable weaves together a monumentally complex tapestry of overwhelming emotions. It's for this fact that I actually place these books above Tolkien's Lord of the Ring's trilogy.

[A Wizard of Earthsea] by [[Ursula K. Le Guin]]A great start to a new fantasy world for me. Ged's path starts at the discovering of his power. We follow him through his training to a cataclysmic event that releases an unknown horror on the world that hungers for everthing Ged is. Ged must find a way to run or fight and it is unclear which is the best decision or if Ged is even making the decisions or being driven by yet another unknown force. This book is a story of a boy finding himself and accepting all that he is before he can become a man and fully grasp his powers. I have the next book waiting to go right now. 4/5 stars

Le Guin is a great story teller, but as my sister pointed out, her works are like stories told around the campfire. I would have loved the book even more if there were more dialogue and interaction between the characters and not merely told in a 3rd person's perspective.

The writing was ... not very good. The plot was ... okay. There's a lot that happens, and the story overall is good, but it lacks visual descriptions. The writing is often poetic rather than engaging, and I was left feeling disappointed most of the time.
