Description
'Wise, graceful, classic myth-making' THE SCOTSMAN
The wizard Alder comes from Roke to the island of Gont in search of the Archmage, Lord Sparrowhawk, once known as Ged. The man who was once the most powerful wizard in the Islands now lives with his wife Tenar and their adopted daughter Tehanu. Alder needs help: his beloved wife died and in his dreams she calls him to the land of the dead - and now the dead are haunting him, begging for release. He can no longer sleep, and the Wizards of Earthsea are worried.
But there is more at stake than the unquiet rest of one minor wizard: for the dragons of Earthsea have arisen, to reclaim the lands that were once theirs. Only Tehanu, herself daughter of a dragon, can talk to them; it may be that Alder's dreams hold the key to the salvation of Earthsea and all the peoples who live there.

How do you describe a masterpiece? The other wind is the last book in the wizard of earthsea series, and it goes out in the highest note. The book is the last chapter of many of our beloved characters that we have followed for a long time, and I’m sad to see them go. But that is what this book is about. Death, change, love and understanding. There is such a richness and warmth that Ursula weave into this series that I haven’t found anywhere else. I could sing song to this brilliance. But what I just ask of you is this. Read this series. Read earthsea. They are not to long, nor hard to find. In here you will find something that no other fantasy series has captured. You will met characters and see them grow and change. You will see thier entire life unfold, and the world change and grow. Here is a series that focus on the small things. There are no grand battles, no charging armies. Just a deep understanding of humans, and love. See where many other fantasy authors took thier inspiration and flew on thier own wind. Read one of the pillars of fantasy. 5 out of 5
