5.0 out of 5 stars
A real page-turner!,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Other Wind (Earthsea) (Paperback)
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!

A lovely conclusion to the Earthsea Series,
By fussyoldfart (Niagara, Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Other Wind (Earthsea) (Paperback)
The last, it appears, of the Earthsea novels; this was written nearly forty years after the first one but the voice, the cadence, the characters and the background assumptions all ring true.
LeGuin provides many worthy life lessons for all of us through her fantasy writing. |
