Consider A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. le Guin. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Le Guin's novel reads as a compact, lyrical coming-of-age quest: a bright, reckless boy learns the costs of magic, speaks true names, faces a shadow he unleashed, and travels through islands and encounters that test his craft. What works best is the spare, poetic prose that turns familiar fantasy plot beats into moral parables about hubris, restraint, and identity. The limitation: the pacing is deliberate and episodic, and some readers may find female characters thinly sketched and moral lessons stated rather than deeply argued.”
