I found the answers to a lot of those questions in the stories that make the Tales from Earthsea. I really thought the story was done Tenar had finally got her second inning, and Ged and Tenar were obviously happy-ever-after, and if I didn't know exactly who or what Tehanu was, it didn't bother me.Īnd a lot of things about Earthsea were bothering me, like do wizards really have to be celibate, if witches don't? and how come no women at Roke? and who are the dragons? and where do Kargish people go when they die? When Tehanu was published I put a subtitle on it - "The Last Book of Earthsea." I was wrong! I was wrong! The last one, “Dragonfly,” follows after Tehanu and The Other Wind follows after “Dragonfly” that story is an important bridge in the series as a whole. Some of the Tales take place before Ged and Tenar were born. There is a jump of 17 Earth years and 20 or more Earthsea years between the first three and the second three. They run in chronological order both in this world (from 1968 to 2001) and in Earthsea. Winner of the 2019 Locus Award for Best Art Book
