Another fantasy novel: A Wizard of Earthsea (en.wikipedia.org)

Let me introduce a really cool fantasy novel:

"A Wizard of Earthsea" is about magic, its power and its sources.

The main character is Ged, who is told about, starting from his childhood until he rises to power.

It is narrated vividly. The description of the magical school and the diverse sources of magic is entertaining.

Greetings Peter

Agreed. And Le Guin's subdued writing style is a welcome contrast to most fantasy, so I'd recommend diving into all of her works if you like this one.

Yes, additionally I've read so far "The Tombs of Atuan" and "The Farthest Shore" and I loved them both. You are right, I should read on. For example "Tehanu".
