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.

Not only in the story itself, but also the pacing and atmosphere make this a perfect resolution to a series I've been slowly reading for something like 10 years. The circle feels satisfyingly complete, and I probably will start again with A Wizard Of Earthsea sooner or later.

I didn't like this as much as the previous books in the series. Too much recapping, but it did solve the mystery of the land of the dead, so definitely worth the effort.
