Lovely and a fitting end to the series I can't pretend I understood everything going on (e.g. Lebannen's extreme aversion to the Kargish princess didn't make complete sense). However, the themes of life, death, cycles, and balance are exquisite. There were moments of such simultaneous subtlety and profoundness that I cried. These books demand multiple rereads to fully soak in because of Le Guin's mastery. Probably the best written fantasy series I've ever read. Fine ending to the Earthsea series, I'm so glad I read the series after so many years.
But there is more to The Other Wind than that: Le Guin's consistency now becomes revealed as a kind of destiny, a drive towards democracy if you like, an implicit impatience with the highfalutin genealogies such bogus mythologies are compelled to recite. Marvellously, the book contains humour, which is otherwise a kind of universal acid to children's fable: if it is funny, it corrodes everything it touches. Here it actually works. And the real magic now is the magic of writing. Love, too, is much more central and important than in the other Earthsea books. The loss that all lovers face, even when they are completely constant and loving, is one of the aching subjects here. In the first few pages of the novel, Ged feels “a sadness at the very heart of things,” and in fact essential loss, essential grief is the main thing that “The Other Wind” is about.... How to address that sadness is this novel’s question Appartiene alle SerieAppartiene alle Collane Editoriali
The sorcerer Alder has the power of mending, but it may have become the power of destruction: every night he dreams of the wall between the land of the living and the land of the dead, and the wall is being dismantled. If the wall is breached, the dead will invade Earthsea. Ged, once Archmage of Earthsea, sends Alder to King Lebannen. Now Alder and the king must join with a burned woman, a wizard of forbidden lore, and a being who is woman and dragon both, in an impossible quest to save Earthsea.
