Earthsea Cycle

Another fantasy series that crops up near the top of many best fantasy lists. Earthsea Cycle is a classic fantasy tale well done.  While it doesn't rack up a sizable page count like some of the newer fantasy series (cough, Wheel of Time, cough Stormlight Archive), what it lacks in size it makes up with quality. Good doesn't always mean big, folks.  So for a very well written classic fantasy tale about a boy's journey to become the greatest wizard alive, Earthsea is one of the best. And the writing is just so damn beautiful to read.
