First Look: Earthsea Trilogy

I've never read anything by Ursula Le Guin, but I've heard good things. Combine that with my love of the Earthsea special and you get my new reading assignment.
Earthsea was originally published as three separate books, but managed to find them as a trilogy. It's wordy, but in a good way. The writing suits the story perfectly. It sucks me into a different time and place. The words linger with an exotic power that makes me yearn to be a part of the story of Ged, our hero. Now if only I was training to become the most powerful wizard of my time. Harry Potter, meet your predecessor.
