Halloween Reads
Cameron Kobes asked this question about Tales from Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #5):
I read the first four of the Earthsea Cycle and then started 'The Other Wind' because I assumed that 'Tales From Earthsea' was separate from the narrative of the rest of the series (set in the same world, but not with the same characters and sequence of events). Is this an accurate assumption, or do I need to read 'Tales From Earthsea' in order to understand 'The Other Wind'?
Dan'l The Other Wind will stand on its own if you have read the four novels. I would recommend however reading the novella, "Dragonfly", included in these T…moreThe Other Wind will stand on its own if you have read the four novels. I would recommend however reading the novella, "Dragonfly", included in these Tales, before reading The Other Wind, if one wishes to enjoy Irian's story as thoroughly as possible. Events in The Other Wind "spoil" a major plot-point for "Dragonfly".(less)
