A nice short fantasy novel

4 stars

I've just never gotten around to reading Earthsea, so I finally did it, and it was an enjoyable fantasy novel that is technically YA but doesn't feel icky reading as an adult.

Do yourself a favor and read the author's afterword at the end. It's a nice perspective and a wonderful message by Ursula K. Le Guin, who has such an amazing talent and voice.
