"The Other Wind" est le sixième et dernier tome du cycle Earthsea d'Ursula K. Le Guin, également connu en français sous le nom de cycle de Terremer.

Après Tales from Earthsea qui était un recueil de nouvelles, ce dernier tome retrouve la forme romanesque des quatre premiers.

Review of 'The Other Wind' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"The Other Wind" by Ursula Le Guin is the final novel of the Earthsea Cycle. Many authors have trouble with the final novel in a series. They sometime struggle to bring all the points together into a satisfying conclusion. But I think that Le Guin really stuck the landing. She wrote a great novel that not only brings various threads from the other novels together but makes you think differently about those other novels. My first reaction upon finishing it, besides immense satisfaction, is that I want to start the series again knowing what I know now. It is an excellent capstone to what has become one of my favorite fiction series.
