“I’m pretty sure that most of the events of A Wizard of Earthsea could have been avoided if there was a tenth master wizard on Roke, the Master Therapist. While most coming of age tales do not feature the protagonist reflecting on their selfhood and internal thoughts without great struggle and experience, Ged probably could have been saved a great deal of physical and mental torture by undergoing regular sessions with a licensed practitioner of mental and spiritual healing. The institution of Higher Education failed Ged, is what I’m trying to say.
Very happy that you’re covering this series, which I have loved dearly since I was a child, yet never fully appreciated until now as an adult. Five Stars.”
