2022 book 3

 Ursula K. LeGuin's Tales of Earthsea

The fifth Earthsea book is actually five different stories, filling in some of the backstory and history of the characters and the world. I was most interested in the ones about the history of the wizards' school, and how it seems to have lost its original purpose, which ties into the last story (which I assume will have some relevance for the final novel), about a young woman trying to figure out her way. There was only story one I wasn’t super into, and even that one related to how the world is misunderstanding its magic/how wizards ought to be. I’m very curious about how this will all wrap up. A-/B+.
