I loved this book! I can’t put my finger on it, but this just felt like fantasy in its purest form. I really enjoyed the prose and world building. Sparrowhawk’s story was classic in a lot of ways, but his internal struggle with releasing and having to defeat an evil, him having to face his own arrogance, him realizing the wisdom of the teacher he found boring… I’m just eating it all up. The audiobook narrator is also excellent.
