The Riddle-Master of Hed

Riddle-Master Trilogy, Book 1

De: Patricia A. McKillip

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

Long ago, the wizards had vanished from the world, and all knowledge was left hidden in riddles. Morgon, prince of the simple farmers of Hed, proved himself a master of such riddles when he staked his life to win a crown from the dead Lord of Aum.But now ancient, evil forces were threatening him. Shape changers began replacing friends until no man could be trusted. So Morgon was forced to flee to hostile kingdoms, seeking the High One who ruled from mysterious Erlenstar Mountain. Beside him went Deth, the High One's Harper. Ahead lay strange encounters and terrifying adventures. And with him always was the greatest of unsolved riddles - the nature of the three stars on his forehead that seemed to drive him toward his ultimate destiny.

Great performance!

Very much enjoyed this one. Love McMillip. The reader did a nice job. Would listen again.

❤️❤️Wonderful❤️❤️

I adore this trilogy. I'm so happy to have found this, and can't wait to hear the last two.

Beautifully told fantasy

I read this book many years ago and find it to be a beautifully written fantasy, and looked forward to hearing it. I liked the clear way the speaker told the story, though since he doesn't really do voices I did frequently have to back up and listen again to figure out who was talking to who. Not a big issue as it's not that long a piece. Overall excellent.

Fantastic Fantasy

Oh my. Much to think on. Much to consider. There are wizards, sort of. And harpists. And shape shifters. And, all manner of odd beings. It's a bit confusing at first, but parts of the story are also ordinary, such as farmers taking their goods to trade and so forth. So many things or persons are not what they seem! Exciting!

This is my first experience with this author and it was quite enjoyable. The story is creative and compelling and the protagonist is interesting and also developing as he encounters new and sometimes completely puzzling events.

Bravo!

I listened to this book on audible and will probably read it again on my Kindle eventually to be sure I have understood the major parts before moving on in the series.

An old favorite relived!!

Bought this story years ago and loved it, all three books that make up the series. Eyes are such that can't read as well now. But discovered Aduibile had them and had to have them to enjoy again. McKilip's writing is a lot like early A Norton, you feel like your there with the characters. The narrative is good, and made for an enjoyable reread of a favorite story. Well worth the cost and time listening.
