A review by tarugani
The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip

2.0

I wanted to love this but honestly it was a bit of a chore. Not to mention that the riddles aren't actually riddles. And the whole bit about magic shouting makes me want to knock off another star. And every character Morgon meets after the first 100 pages has the depth of a wading pool.

It felt like each kingdom Morgon crossed through is approximately three times smaller Ely, Nevada. And no one's ever played an instrument except for the harp. What sort of name is Deth?

This book just gets more irritating the more I think about it.
