Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook]

 Wizard of Earthsea [book, audiobook]

I READ THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS LIKE 13 AND HATED IT, JUST *HATED* IT. BUT IT'S CLEARLY A BOOK I SHOULD LIKE BY AN AUTHOR I LOVE SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHAT RUBBED ME SO MUCH THE WRONG WAY.  I THINK A LOT OF IT WAS JUST NOT RELATING WELL TO THE TEEN CHARACTER AND HIS WRONG DECISIONS FRUSTRATING ME SINCE EVERYTHING HE DID SEEMED SO UNFORCED.  I THINK THE LARGER REASON WAS I REALLY HATED FANTASY BOOKS AT THE TIME AND LARGELY HATED READING THEM BECAUSE OF FANTASY NAMES AND THIS BOOK IS ABOUT NAMES SPECIFICALLY SO EVERYONE HAS 30 DIFFERENT STUPID FANTASY NAMES AND I THINK I HYPERBOLICALLY LATCHED ONTO THAT AS THIS BOOK BEING THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF WHY I HATE FANTASY. READING THIS DECADES LATER IT'S NOT SO BAD AND I'LL PROBABLY CONTINUE THE SERIES. 

PS. THIS BOOK *DOES* HAVE GEB FROM GONT WHO IS FIGHTING A GEBBETH WHO IS ALSO NAMED GEB SO I CAN'T TOTALLY SAY I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE NAMES OF EVERYTHING BEING EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
