Horror's Greatest Hits
Debbie asked this question about Rocannon’s World:
I haven't read anything by this author. Is it better to start with this series or the Earthsea Cycle?

"A Note from Ursula
The order of the books is:

A Wizard of Earthsea

The Tombs of Atuan

The Farthest Shore

Tehanu

Tales from Earthsea

The Other Wind"

This was perfect for me, and cemented her in my esteem as one of the greatest authors I have read.

Having just finished Rocannon's world--I liked it a lot, and am excited to continue the Hainish tales, but it didn't knock me out in the same way that Wizard of Earthsea and every other book in that series did.

Nevertheless, having been through Earthsea, I have total faith that the Hainish stories will grow into another realm that I will love, hopefully as much as Earthsea, if in different ways.

Hope this helps. (less)
