For over twenty years, World Fantasy Award winner Patricia A. McKillip has captured the hearts and imaginations of thousands of readers. Now at last her renowned Riddle-Master trilogy–The Riddle-Master of Hed, Heir of Sea and Fire, and Harpist in the Wind–long out of print, is collected in one volume. It is considered her most enduring and beloved work. Now it is collected in one volume for the first time–the epic journeys of a young prince in a strange land, where wizards have long since vanished...but where magic is waiting to be reborn.
Reviews with the most likes.
Liked it overall, some parts better than others. Going to go on to the next book in the series.
First mini-review on Goodreads. Hope to become more involved with the site when I have more time.
I'd like to read this again, because there's a lot here to like but I just didn't really click with it. I enjoyed her later work more. The dialogue here is a little heavy-handed and stilted; and although I like that the second book focuses on the women, it's a lil frustrating that it basically retreads the first. But it feels weird to complain about such a great author bc I know the next fantasy I read is probably not going to be at her level.
Also the repetitive names drove me a little nuts. Morgon, Morgol, Hel, Hed-- enuf!!
