nigellicus 's review for:

The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious

A wonderful book, and a wonderful end to a wonderful series. They're all here, Ged, Lebannen, Tenar, Tehanu, dragons, wizards, the wall between life and death, the secret of that wall and why it is failing, a Kargan princess and a grieving sorceror haunted by visions of the dead. Thematically the whole thing unfolds with perfection, tying everything off in a deeply satisfying, and moving, conclusion.
