The Word of Unbinding: A Story by Ursula K. Le Guin

3.0

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!
