I had to read a Wizard of Earthsea for school and HATED it (probably because I was expecting it to be like harry potter ngl). However, every discussion I've seen online about the best fantasy series almost always includes Earthsea, so I was wondering if I was just too young to appreciate it and should revisit it. I've heard similar things for Jane Eyre, which I also found boring but found out it's apparently meant for middle-aged people.

In Russia it's kinda the inverse. Like 80% of the books I've read in middle/high school I've re-read as an adult, most of them were still really interesting even on the second read.
