Riddle-Master | 
pickLots of false starts on this trilogy. Think the beginning is confusing - too many people, too quickly. After the introductory sections it calms down and improves as it goes along.
pickI loved the world. I thought the hero could perhaps not wander around the wilderness quite so much but I loved the land magic and the realms. I wish that the last third of the book had some of Raederle's POV because she became frustrating in the last part.
If you like LOTR, The Wizard of Earthsea, or the Name of the Wind, check this one out.
So I finished the first book/part and it ends on a cliffhanger. I like it so far but am glad I didn't read The Riddle Master of Hed as a separate book. A lot of shades of LOTR here, which McKillip acknowledges in the intro and I like the way magic and earth intertwine here. Excited to keep going. The second book shifts to a different character and gives a larger view of what the rest of the world thought of the mysterious events in the first.
Just started and really enjoying. This one is full of puzzles and mystery and adventure.
I was at a library sale yesterday looking in the sci-fi / fantasy section and this guy with a copy paper box full of books sees me take a Robin Hobb. “You like fantasy?” he asks me. “Uh, sure.” He hands me this book, tells me it‘s amazing.
Looked it up on Goodreads and it‘s full of 5-star reviews. Who knew? 🤷♀️ Anyone else read this? Looks like a sleeper hit that no one has heard of.
