A review by forthirtydollarsnameawoman
The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia A. McKillip
Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.
I stayed for the mysterious undertones, before it turned out to be repetitive, convenient, and predictable.
The cover is most-likely whitewashing. I wonder if the siblings' blood ever plays a role in the trilogy/it turns out they are not related or if it continues in this post-race fashion (which would be awesome for fantasy imo, with mixed people not experiencing racism = true escapism).
While some parts felt derivative, others were refreshing precursors to modern fantasy. Overall, not terrible, and I do love when characters have names like Deth, yet I do not have the patience to continue.
