It’s real fantasy, it’s great, and in some ways it reminds me of The Name of the Wind. Loved it a lot - Ged really grows on you, and the story is quite dense, and there as much story in this book as many others would fit in a trilogy (growing up, mastering school, mastering the antagonist, for example?). I clearly need to read more books by Ursula K. Le Guin!
I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.
