David Weir reseñó A Wizard Of Earthsea de Ursula K. Le Guin
Very enjoyable but of its time
4 estrellas
I did really enjoy reading this, and will almost certainly go on to read the other Earthsea books.
I came to Earthsea after reading several of Le Guin's Hainish cycle books and short stories, including some of the earliest ones like Rocannon's World. I can see similarities with the earliest Hainish cycle works, from around the same time - an emphasis on male characters, for example - which I am sure would have been handled differently by the same author had she written them later on. But there are still a lot of great ideas here, and it is far more open-minded than most fantasy literature of its era.
