The Other Wind Audiobook

" As always, I enjoy a trip to Earthsea. I loved the theme of this novel and am going to start Le Guin's Hainish series. Her writing always makes me feel good. "

" it was worth it "

" Worth the journey -- though The Other Wind is not really a "stand alone" novel. You have to take the whole journey. Also, I'm still disturbed by what seems to be inexplicable emotional reactions of almost all the characters. Why do they respond "harshly?" Why the anger? Also, there are a number of tangents which are just that, tangents that ultimately turn out to be also inexplicable and seemingly unnecessary. In the end, though, she accomplishes what she failed to accomplish in the first volume, Wizard of Earthsea, with, perhaps, a little help from Phillip Pullman. "

" I love Ursula LeGuin, and I love this book. It's comfort reading for me...interesting but not complicated, poetic without being pretentious, and full of story lines about suffering, loss and death leading to freedom, wisdom and transformation. "

" A good finale to very nice series. "

" The ending is kind of abrupt. Not as good as the first trilogy. Still entertaining. "

" I read this some years ago, but I was inspired to reread it after watching the Japanese anime "Tales from Earthsea". This is a thoughtful book, but the characters do not seem very engaging to me. "

" Best end to the story!! "

" still like #5 better :) "

" I can understand why many fans of the original three Earthsea books are not taken with The Other Wind. It is slower, more introspective, and less dependent on action and more on the characters, which happens to be exactly what I like about it. "

" After Tehanu, I thought it the Earthsea novels will improve, it did a little. This 5th book of the series has some good moments but more boring scenes. "

" Great addition to the earthsea series. "

" "The Other Wind (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 6) by Ursula K. LeGuin (2003)" "

" Sad there are no more books left in the series, but an excellent and satisfactory conclusion. "

" Brilliant! Fantasy hardly gets better than this. "

" By far my favorite book in the series "

" I really miss the original plot line, but it was cool to see Ogion in his prime. "

" A final conclusion to the epic earthsea. I found that this book was very well thought out. All the pieces fit together at the end. Every piece worked together. It didn't seem forced like some of the other book endings. "

" Probably better to pretend it doesn't exist. "

" Alder, a sorcerer with the power to mend things, has been having dreams of the realm of the dead and his departed wife. He journeys to Ged, who sends him to the King. All the peoples of Earthsea, human, dragon, must join together to right an ancient wrong. "

" By the end, I was left speechless. The Other Wind far surpasses Ursula Le Guin's other Earthsea novels. This book is captivating, beautiful and one that I will read again and again and again. "

" I love Guin so much right now. The world she created was beautiful and mysterious. It makes me wonder how great the imagination people can have is. Now I love Earthsea. I feel like staying there forever. "

" I don't know why....I just didn't care for it :\ There was some interesting stuff about dragons and whatnot, but eh *shrugs* "

" This is my annual re-reading of this book, the most recent in the Earthsea Cycle by UK Le Guin, my favorite author. I can't even describe how much I love this book and the whole series. "
