Eh, it's ok I guess. It's a children's book so there's not much to expect.

Yeah

>>20699062
Is it full of niggers?

>>20699085
The main character is black, you probably won't like it if you're racist

>>20699085
It's anti white. They thwart a viking invasion in the first book.

The first book is very enjoyable. If my father read t to me as a child I would of loved it.

>>20699219
Sounds cool

>>20698959
chuds will tell you the later books are bad

>>20698959
They're bad even by the standard of children't books. it has this breakneck pace that flattens any of the tension. seemingly important haracters show up for a page or two and then die and are never mentioned again. and it's deathly serious

>>20699205
thank you, I am racist.

>>20699219
vikings were bandits that got their shit pushed in whenever they faced a disciplined army

Are you rapist tho? That I can respect.

depending on the race and the age.

>>20699205
They're not black, they're just swarthy, I think the skin complexion of native americans

It's a great kids/YA novel, fills a similar space as The Hobbit. I read it around age 13 and absolutely loved it. I played The Wind Waker around the same time - for a few years I was fascinated by the setting and it fueled my imagination for a good few years following.

No he's black. LeGuin talked about it in interviews, specifically about her publishers reluctance to feature him on the cover for fear that it would drive away white readers

Ursula k le Guin is one of the few gold fantasy writers. Read her.
