If you read it "for the POC" of course you're not gonna like it! For one thing, it's got nothing to do with any sort of race politics or culture that are associated with our world. At all. Like really nothing. The characters are just regular characters who happen to have varying dark skintones.

Now if you're reading it as a fantasy series, I agree that it's slow (especially by modern standards). It's a lot more introspective than what you'd expect when you imagine a fanatasy epic about wizards who sail all over the world, and that may just not be your cup of tea.

I love these books because they make me both feel and think. There are a lot of details which grab my imagination and a lot of themes which raise a lot of questions to my mind. All in all a very rewarding experience...though totally not worth it if you're bored out of your mind, the first function of the story is to entertain, after all!

Basically, don't force yourself if it's not your thing.

(Note that I'm not defending Tehanu here, I have something good to say about the other books but Tehanu broke my heart. It was just a painful, miserable story to read, so someone who actually likes it can defend it).

Amen, especially re: Tehanu. I remember feeling like it was Tenar being angsty and then the book abruptly ending, but time has dulled what my memory. Either way it was a major tonal shift, so if you think the other Earthsea books were dry avoid Tehanu like the plague.

The first three are great for the world-building, if that's your thing. Islands and unique culture and a cool magic system and dragons and dark under-gods and labyrinths and...

Well, you get the idea.
