5.0 out of 5 stars The last book of Earthsea?, 29 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Hearing of this book was a surprise for me. I thought the main story ended with Tehanu. However, having read it I can see why LeGuin chose to take up this story again. There were simply more to discover in the world of Earthsea.

It is many years since I read the first four books, so I can not really say how well the style and plot of The Other Wind agree with them. I have heard people say that Tehanu ruined the Earthsea they knew and loved as kids, but I never felt that way myself. The same goes for this book.

The Other Wind contains the thing I love most about LeGuin's books - a plot that is character driven, yet never boring or slow. It also resolves plotlines left open from previous books to such an extent that I doubt that there will be a sequel. Those things made it a wonderful read for me. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner!, 20 Feb 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
When the sorcerer Alder shows up at Ged Sparrowhawk's door, his haunted tale tells of great changes coming, both for the living and the dead. Alder soon finds himself in the center of a storm, collecting around him the king of the Archipelago, a Kargan princess, dragons, wizards, and others. Back in the days of prehistory, a decision was made, and a land was stolen. Now what was broken must be fixed, and what was made must be broken. Earthsea will never be the same again...

This is quite a haunting book. Reading like a murder-mystery, the book drew me along, hoping to understand the enigma that Earthsea was groaning under. The book is short, and written with a clarity that demonstrates why Ursula Le Guin is considered one of the giants of the genre. If you are a fan of the Earthsea books, then I can't urge you enough to buy and read this book!
