I loved reading the different ways that a wizard might try to get out of an imprisonment and enjoyed how vivid Le Guin's description of the nature and environment was. I do have to be honest and say that it didn't grab me as much as some of her other stories have, though that is mostly due to the fact that I find I need to get used to an Earthsea story for a bit before I can fully dive in. The Word of Unbinding was just so short that I lost out on that. Also I was itching to get to the final few stories in the Cycle and that may have hurt the experience a bit as well.
Nonetheless - I am excited to reread it once I read The Wind's Twelve Quarters!

Dentro de: "Las doce moradas del viento".
Universo Terramar. Un joven mago llamado Festin, introvertido y amante de la naturaleza, despierta en una habitación oscura sin puertas ni ventanas. Festin habia salido en un viaje para explorar sus poderes y afianzarlos y en el camino es hecho prisionero por Voll, un mago oscuro y poderoso. Festin intenta escapar transformándose en diferentes elementos hasta que se convierte en trucha... Un cuento maravilloso que con pocos elementos Guin te sumerge en la atmósfera, en la tensión claustrofóbica de alguien queriendo recuperar su libertad.

Worth a very quick read if you love the Earthsea cycle. A powerful short story.
