A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin

ISBN:0-140-30477-0
Read November 2018, Age 40

The Earthsea Cycle, book 1 of 5

A juvenile fantasy novel that I somehow missed growing up, I thought I'd remedy that.  The world was really neat, and the writing spectacular, but the story was very hands-off, told from a detached place.  I would have preferred some more immediacy, more connection to the characters.  I'm glad I read it.
