Un buen inicio de la saga

Al principio me costó engancharme al estilo de la escritora, supongo que porque venía de libros más ligeros. Luego me ha gustado mucho, y me gustan mucho sus descripciones y todo el mundo que ha creado.

Como pero, veo un poco flojo el final. Seguramente según vaya progresando en la saga de libros me vaya gustando más y más, porque promete.

Review of 'A Wizard of Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 1)' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I loved the story and the concepts, but it felt kind of rushed the whole time; a lot happens, but nothing is focused on for very long. It felt like a fairy tale telling of the story, but it was much longer than a fairy tale, so it felt inappropriate.

Anyway, I thought it was great and very enjoyable, and I was ecstatic to find that it was a non-white default fantasy story! A welcome change. :)
