Why read it?
1 author picked The Riddlemaster of Hed as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This trilogy, in the fantasy novels genre, goes into the quest to discover mystical answers in story form.
What is outstanding about these books, and all of McKillip’s writings, is her amazing ability to use words in a poetic and visually expressive fashion.

From Maetreyii's list on spiritual awakening and personal transformation.
