The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip

adventurous challenging mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This was a challenging read. It's lovely writing, and so dense with not much contextual description that I found myself going back over sections to understand enough to move on with the plot. And even then I read most of it on faith that I would have a handle on the story by the end. I mostly did, and I'll read the rest, but I'm glad this wasn't my first encounter with McKillip.
