About the book
Ged was the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, but once he was called Sparrowhawk, a reckless youth, hungry for power and knowledge, who tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

this book was published 1968 and the hero is a black man!! and 90% of the characters we encounter are black people/people of color!! I didn't read this book because if this fact because.. I didn't know. In the first chapters when people are introduced and I realized that there were white vs. black people I got really scared because well.. 1968? I made myself ready to dnf this after a few pages to due racist ways of describing those characters & the roles they would play due to their skin color. Well this did not happen at all, the characters were great people with great characters, morals and it was just great to read this. especially knowing the climate in which the book was published. #blacklivesmatterin my edition there is also an authors note in which she explains how/why she chose the black hero, etc. and the struggles "she had to face" by doing so. the book itself is not GREAT but enjoyable and I plan on continuing this series.
