Earthsea

 Ursula LeGuin is the author of Earthsea, a young adult fantasy novel chosen by my book club in Duluth. Ursula was a fan of J. R. Tokien. She writes about a magician/wizard who is based on her interpretation of a young Gandalf. I wasn't that impressed with the book. But once I learned in the book club that the author changed her style in the subsequent 4 books in the series. Women took a lead role. Women's magic changed from unimportant to vital. I am not sure I am going to finish the series but I can see how a young adult would like a series like this one.
