A Wizard of Earthsea

I think the idea behind this story is a great one. A young wizard struggles to learn more and his pride causes him to make a huge mistake which he spends a lot of his life trying to fix and coming to terms with. However, the way the story is written seemed a bit bland to me. I didn't feel an arch in the story and when he came face to face with his problem it was very anticlimactic for me. The whole story just seemed a bit monotone to me.

Besides that I do think it has some great messages, it just needed to be more climactic for me.
