Hi again guys, it's been a couple of days since my last review, 5 days to be exact and at long last I have come to the end of my journey )well, my next book in any case.
A Wizard of Earthsea is actually a tremendously difficult read. Like any classic, or classic style novel there's tons of exposition and, to be perfectly honest, I found it a bit of a hard read at times. It was good, don't get me wrong, just difficult. I don't know what it is about it that makes it so, it just is, although, there are dragons and, as you know, dragons and magic and quests makes anything worth reading. Despite being difficult to get through (even though it was only 200 pages) it was a great read. I put it down earlier tonight and I really felt like I'd been on Ged's quest with him, from his apprenticeship to the end of the journey.
When young Ged is apprenticed to the great sorcerer Ogion his life changes, after many years of learning from his master he learns that he is to go the great Wizard's School on Roke. While there he makes many friends and a couple of enemies naturally. He is young and prideful and boasts of his power and that leads him into danger. But when he starts to dabble in dark forces, forces he knows not of, what will become of him? Will his pride-fullness and wanton need to prove himself better than any other wizard get him killed? or will it do something worse. Of course you'll have to read to find out.
I really did like this book, I enjoyed it immensely and for lovers of fantasy, especially stories of wizards I would definitely recommend it without hesitation.
I know, sort review today, I continue to work my way through the list (found here if you want to see what I've read/will read) Of course I'm always open to suggestion either in the comments or over Twitter.
Until next time keep reading, and writing!
