The Other Wind

The sixth book in the Earthsea-cycle and the actual last book of the series was a good ending to this story. As a reader you understand the story goes on, but that the part that we take part in ends here. I appreachiated the expanded character roster in this book in addition to seeing old aquaintances again. The characters felt distinct and diverse, probably because characters of different backgrounds were given their own stage. This book continues on what LeGuin began in the fourth book, in deepening the characters and raising question on who is good and who is bad.

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.
