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.

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

Perfect, satisfying ending to a great series

No rating

A great conclusion to the Earthsea series. One of the best sort: the kind that immediately makes you want to start right back at the beginning. It ties up all the existing threads and questions about its world so beautifully, that reading the series again with the knowledge of how it ends doesn't spoil the story, but is its own kind of pleasure.
