DESCRIPTION:
--Cynthia Ward. Fortunately, new Earthsea books have appeared in the 21st century, and they are as powerful, beautiful, and imaginative as the first four novels. The Other Wind lives up to expectations for one of the greatest fantasy cycles.

Le Guin's latest effort is a remarkable experience.Alder, a sorcerer whose skill is mending, is deeply . A wonderful beginning This book is for those who have followed the journey across Earthsea from Ten Alders to the wall and back. It is the healing of that which was broken. It is the glad tears of love.. The Harrowing of Hades ealovitt Until I read Ursula K. Le Guin's new novel, "The Other Wind," it hadn't occurred to me that previous volumes left unresolved the fate of the souls in Earthsea's equivalent of Hades, i.e. the Dry Land. These mournful undead played a prominent role in "The Farthest Shore," where the Archmage Ged and his companion, Arren descended into the underworld to battle an evil mage.Ged and Arren returned out of the Dry Land, but left behind those who were neither alive nor truly dead.Who wer
