Never too Late to Read Classics discussion

The story is set in the fictional archipelago of Earthsea and centers on a young mage named Ged, born in a village on the island of Gont. He displays great power while still a boy and joins a school of wizardry, where his prickly nature drives him into conflict with a fellow student. During a magical duel, Ged's spell goes awry and releases a shadow creature that attacks him. The novel follows Ged's journey as he seeks to be free of the creature.

Enjoy!!

I didn't care for this book much. It was all telling, and that pushed me out of the story.

I've only just started A Wizard of Earthsea, but I'm enjoying it so far.

I liked Wizard of Earthsea. It almost feels like a saga at times, especially book 3.

I will be starting this in the next few days, fingers crossed. I seem to be falling behind with the group the last few months, sorry!
I have heard a lot of polarised opinions on this so I’m intrigued to see how I get on. It’s been in my pile of books to read for far too long now!

I thought it was quite enjoyable, but nothing earth-shattering. Based on this, I doubt if I'll bother reading any of the other volumes in the series.

This book is staring at me from my bedside table but I have so many to read for challenges and work that I'm not sure I'll get to it before the end of the year. I love magic school books and hope to enjoy it. Seeing a lot of mixed reviews from y'all.

I started this a couple of days ago, I was a little dubious going into it but I’m really enjoying it. I love the world that she has created and find it really easy to picture all the scenery which always makes a book stand out for me. If it carries on this way I will definitely read the rest of the quartet too.
