Quindi trama più avvincente, ma gli altri difetti restano: la brevità innanzitutto, che si porta dietro una generale mancanza di approfondimento (ed è un peccato perché quello di Earthsea è un mondo affascinante); e poi per quanto intellettualmente renda merito alla Le Guin per essere stata una degli iniziatori del fantasy (questa saga è stata scritta tra fine anni '60 e inizio '70), è innegabile che nel tempo il genere si sia evoluto e quindi ogni tanto il romanzo risulta ingenuo.
In ogni caso ottima prova di scrittura e buon libro, solo che mi pare un'opera talmente conclusiva da far fatica a pensare a cosa possa aver giustificato la pubblicazione di altri volumi successivi decenni dopo.… (altro)
