Location: Southeastern Pennsylvania		With Harpist in the Wind, I've finished Patricia A. McKillip's "Riddle-Master" trilogy. McKillip writes in a strong, evocative, strange, and powerful way that I enjoyed quite a bit. Sometimes, she writes a bit too obliquely, and it was a bit difficult to pick up the thread of who was speaking, or the precise order of transpired events. But that is a quibble, and it is just that small thing that kept me from rating each book a full 5 stars (each one got 4.5). The world of Morgon of Hed and Raederle of An will stay with me for a long time, I'm sure. McKilllip's magic 'system' in particular is unique and rich. This has become one of my favorite fantasy worlds.

And now I'm into the final leg of the challenge. I'll be working my way through Tanith Lee's "Birthgrave" trilogy. I've already started book one, "The Birthgrave." It is the first of Lee's works I've ever read, and in its start it is a strange and curious work. But I'm getting into the rhythm and flow of it, and ultimately I think I'll like it.
