A Wizard of Earthsea

I have vivid but vague memories of reading this as a teen. My recollection is of how Ged’s world fed my imagination, and how his journey was full of wonder and the mastery of his power. It was interesting reading it again, where the focus seemed far more about Ged running from his mistake and his dread weariness until he turns to face it. I wonder if that’s a result of life perspective—would be fascinating to hear a now teenage first-reader’s perspective.
