These past mornings been feeling real emotional almost cried just now listening to wizard of earthsea, le guin is so damn good at portraying emotions like fear and doubt

In my universe we will have an Earthsea renaissance. No Harry Potter for the younglings. Sparrowhawk will show them the way.

The earthsea series as a whole is insanely good. The growth of recurring characters over the books, as Le Guin herself went through decades of her life and was able to approach femininity and masculinity through a different lens later, is really special as well.

I would love to have your thoughts on each book, and on the series! I can never have enough thoughts about Earthsea.

I felt this way listening to left hand of darkness. She's so talented!

[โ€“] Tommasi@hexbear.net 9 points 20 hours ago

if you like emotional fantasy and you haven't already you should give robin hobb a shot

[โ€“] Wmill@hexbear.net 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I see all the audiobooks on the app I use any you recommended for starters?

[โ€“] Kuori@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

this is the beginning and is as far as i've actually read as i fell out of the habit not too long after. first one is Assassin's Apprentice. there are several sequel series that follow the same characters if i'm not mistaken, or at least take place in the same world

i read them when i was quite a bit younger so my memory of them is pretty vague but i do recall being struck by how uncommonly front and center the emotions of the main character were, and how out of genre it felt (for lack of a better way to put it). anyway hope you enjoy!

vague farseer spoilersIt's funny how Fitz could be a rather silly character, a bastard prince warrior assassin in a grim dark low fantasy setting with various cool scars and a white streak in his hair, with two ancient magical inheritances that let him be somewhat telepathic and talk to animals.

But like you say, it's mostly about his growing maturity, emotional development, interpersonal relationships etc
