Eleanor Luhar (47 KP) rated The Other Wind: An Earthsea Novel in Books

Again, there were times where I felt a little bored or lost, but when I was able to sit and really focus on reading it, I really did enjoy this book. I guess it's not really a "light" read.
This story focused more on dragons, and how humans had broken an ancient promise by seeking immortality. Women - who were previously seen as lesser than men - are invited to Roke, and help to bring peace amongst dragon and mankind.
The history of dragons and men being one species was a really interesting concept, as was the "other wind" that Irian and Tehanu long for. The ending was pretty sad, too - the bond between Tenar and Tehanu was so strong, but they knew that they would have to let each other go.
I definitely found this the most interesting out of the series. The writing is lovely (if a little archaic, but that fits the universe Le Guin has created) and I love some of the characters. 3.5 stars.

I'm always excited to start a new series and I wasn't disappointed with this one.
Brett Salter has created two different but connected characters in Rome and Julien. Their personalities spark off of each other well and it's fun to see how they interact with each other.
The boys both grow in confidence and experience throughout the book, whilst still keeping their individuality and sense of humour.
The Search for Synergy puts a bit of a different light on the myths of dragons and Camelot which makes me happy. It also makes me glad that it's not real, I would be so creeped out!
Not only is this the start of what looks to be a fun and interesting series but it can also be read by a broad audience. As well as being something to read alone, The Search for Synergy, could (and should) be something that is read to a group. I know I said it's a teen fantasy but I also think it would be good for kick-starting the imagination of a slightly younger reader.
