Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania		I've finished The Riddle-Master of Hed, book one in Patricia A. McKillip's "Riddlemaster" trilogy. It is the second McKillip book I've read (the first being The Forgotten Beasts of Eld back before I joined WWE). This is a beautiful, magical book. It is very much the first book of a series as it ends on a great cliffhanger well-designed to launch a reader into book two. I'm particularly taken by McKillip's unique style of writing; I rhapsodize about it a bit in my review. Riddle-Master deals with standard high-fantasy themes, but does so in an oblique fashion that makes this novel stand above the usual fantasy story. Recommended.
