The Other Wind

el dang reviewed The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin (The Earthsea Cycle, #6)

Perfect resolution to one of my favourite series

5 stars

Not only in the story itself, but also the pacing and atmosphere make this a perfect resolution to a series I've been slowly reading for something like 10 years. The circle feels satisfyingly complete, and I probably will start again with A Wizard Of Earthsea sooner or later.

the crown jewel of Earthsea

a wonderful ending to a series that (to me) has its ups and downs - the perfect culmination of what the series becomes in the later books. I feel like the themes in this book settled in where previously I had bounced off from them; like all the best capstones of a series, it paints the rest of the two trilogies in a new light, especially in tandem with Tales from Earthsea.

A journey to the low stone wall

3 stars

I didn't like this as much as the previous books in the series. Too much recapping, but it did solve the mystery of the land of the dead, so definitely worth the effort.
