A review by dmturner
Riddle-Master by Patricia A. McKillip
3.0
Back and forth over the world doing high fantasy
I love McKillip's writing, and remembered fondly reading the first book of this trilogy, but on retreading the books I have no idea how I endured it. There isn't really a plot to speak of, just the hero rushing from place to place on the latest urgent and driven magical mission, often in animal form, pausing occasionally to try to make his girlfriend go home for her own good. (She refuses) McKillip has polished her game since, thank goodness.
