Finished reading A Wizard of Earthsea recently. Good book. Magic system was unusual - a focus on (true) names of objects and people, and the difficulty of permanently changing the nature of an object. Setting was good, no iconic continent to stand-out but rather archipelagos, some islands more important, some much less so.
Good, perfectly legible prose, and a sane plot. Not completely predictable, but nothing too wacky either.
I learned of it from a fantasy rec chart posted here a few months back I think. Strangest thing was how this was an S-tier. I'd have given it a B-tier, but I'm very inexperienced with fantasy books.
