“As a man’s real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he…” — A Wizard of Earthsea 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

As a man’s real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do.

★★★★☆

Deep wisdom, calm storytelling, and some love shining through: I love Earthsea a lot, and re-reading this book made me very happy. Apart from the near-lyrical style, I was also surprised to remember that the story is quite dense, and there as much story in this book as many others would fit in a trilogy nowadays (growing up, mastering school, mastering the antagonist, for example?).
