I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.

Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.

Yeah, you get to book 4 and you're like "Is everything ok, Ursula?

I was prepared but I can imagine it was quite the surprise

Whoaaaaa! No way! I just finished the first one and loved it. Can't wait to keep going. That's so cool!

If you haven't already check out the "shelved by genre" podcast. They just did the entire Earthsea series (over multi episodes) and the podcast is seriously hilarious and insightful.

I'll try to remember that for when I finish the series

Don't want to push it too hard, but they do two episodes per book. Best enjoyed by listening after you finish each book.
