The real final book of Earthsea. Further develops the ideas introduced in Tehanu & the novella Dragonfly (e.g. Dragons & dragon people, taking the story back from the boys, & getting old). Going in, I kind of thought it was going to be the kind of series ender that would blow up the rest of the series behind it. Rest assured, it did not. The Other Wind might be the Earthsea book that is the most about death. Can’t wait to find the few more Earthsea stories I haven’t read yet!
