    A Review of the Digital Version of "The Other Wind" by Ursula K. Le Guin
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2011*

I started reading Le Guin's Earthsea series by borrowing the books from the library. Then I received the new Kindle 3 for my birthday, and decided to try reading Tehanu and The Other Wind on it instead of the library books. I was enjoying the series and thought I would enjoy reading them again. However, the digital editions of these books have some serious conversion errors: It would appear that the publisher used optical character recognition (OCR) software to scan the books into a digital edition, without any quality checks after conversion. Given the nature of the series and the importance of language, these are serious flaws. Here are some samples from The Other Wind:"She asked him to assure the High Bang of the Kargs that his daughter was well..." (location 1117)Translation: "She asked him to assure the High King of the Kargs that his daughter was well..."Note: Oddly, this line was regarding one character giving another character this message through an interpreter..."I will come to conduct you to the kings presence when the fifth hour is told..." (location 1201)Translation: "I will come to conduct you to the king's presence when the fifth hour is told..." (missing apostrophe)"...wizard Seppel of Pain..." (location 1276)Translation: "...wizard Seppel of Paln..."Note: Paln was constantly misspelled as Pain."'Between Pain and Semel, and the Island of Havnor, is only the width of the Pelnish Sea,' said Prince Sege." (location 1283)Translation: "'Between Paln and Semel, and the Island of Havnor, is only the width of the Pelnish Sea,' said Prince Sege."Note: At least they got "Pelnish" right..."Who goes to the dry land when they diet..." (location 1904)Translation: "Who goes to the dry land when they die..." (die, not diet)Note: That's actually quite funny, but it's really not appropriate for the conversation!"The women looked at her, some thinking her plain, some beautifid, some pitying her for having to go barefoot in the palace." (location 1998)Translation: "The women looked at her, some thinking her plain, some beautiful, some pitying her for having to go barefoot in the palace."Note: Seriously? Just do a spell-check!!"Long ago the Grey Mage of Pain had brought ruin on his island by summoning the souls of the dead to advise him and his lords..." (location 2186)Translation: "Long ago the Grey Mage of Paln had brought ruin on his island by summoning the souls of the dead to advise him and his lords..."Note: Paln again..."There had been more than one duel in wizardry between a man of Roke and a man of Pain..." (location 2187)Translation: "There had been more than one duel in wizardry between a man of Roke and a man of Paln...""'What a ragbag you are bringing them, to be sure!' she said. 'A sorcerer with nightmares, a wizard from Pain, two dragons, and two Kargs. The only respectable passengers on this ship are you and Onyx.'" (location 2642)Translation: "'What a ragbag you are bringing them, to be sure!' she said. 'A sorcerer with nightmares, a wizard from Paln, two dragons, and two Kargs. The only respectable passengers on this ship are you and Onyx.'"One of the most distracting, and terrible, errors were in names. The series places a huge importance on names, so it's ridiculous that the publisher wasn't as careful. In Tehanu, the publisher constantly misspelled Sparrowhawk as two words: Sparrow hawk. It's subtle, but very distracting.In the end, given this poor handling of the conversion from the physical book, I would simply wait for a new digital edition with revisions or just get the physical book at the library or a bookstore.

    The Harrowing of Hades
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2002*

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 were those shadows of the living?  Why were they condemned to lead such miserable half-lives, in which Arren "saw the mother and child who had died together, and they were in the dark land together; but the child did not run, nor did it cry, and the mother did not hold it or ever look at it.  And those who had died for love passed each other in the streets.""The Other Wind" debates the riddle of a 'true' death, and reveals how the very existence of the Dry Land threatens the people of Earthsea.Actually there is more debate than action in this latest Le Guin fantasy, but as always she delivers her message through her complex and likeable characters.  There lives the true magic in this series.The reader is first introduced to the plight of the undead through Alder, a recent widower who can magically mend crockery and other mundane items.  In a dream, his deceased wife kisses him over the low stone wall that separates the living world from the Dry Land.  Subsequent dreams reveal other undead, who beg him to release them from the dark and return them to the land of the living.Alder flees to the Island of Gont, to seek help from the former Archmage.  But old Ged used up all of his magic while defeating the Dry Land mage (in "The Farthest Shore") and he counsels Alder to ask for assistance from the new King.At the royal residence on Havnor, Alder meets many characters from previous Earthsea stories:  Ged's wife, Tenar who was formerly priestess of the Tombs of Atuan; the burned child, Tehanu who can summon dragons; the dragon, Irien who assumes the shape of a woman; and Arren, the young King himself, companion to Ged on his fateful journey to the Dry Land.King Arren (who now uses his true name, Lebannen) has problems of his own, including rampaging dragons and a heavily veiled princess, foisted off on him by a former enemy who orders the King to marry her.  Nevertheless he agrees to help Arren, the sorcerous pot-mender who seems to have acquired the power to destroy the balance between Earthsea's underworld and its realm of the living.The climax to "The Other Wind" takes place on Roke, the island of Mages, where the author ties all of her loose plot devices together--EXCEPT for the prophecy regarding 'The Woman of Gont.'Admittedly the former archmage, Ged offered Alder 'a' solution to the prophecy before the sorcerer left Gont, but it wasn't very satisfying.My hope is that there is time for at least one more Earthsea fantasy --one where the prophecy first revealed in "Tehanu (volume three)" is fully explained.

    Finally I've read "The Other Wind."
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021*

I've read a few difficult novels lately. It was great to read a story. There are very few truly wonderful storytellers. Ursula Le Guin is one of them. This is not my favorite of her books but it is filled with wonder. I must say 'Alder' was my favorite character. The final section is a bit messy. Le Guin's metaphysics kind of ran amok. In my opinion the answers to all the big questions remained on Gont with Ged. He "kept the house" and kept the goats inside the fence. The stuff on Roke wasn't as important as keeping those pesky goats from getting out.
