In The Riddle-Master of Hed, did you enjoy ...

... the lyrical, poetic writing style?

The Forgotten Beasts Of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip

If you were swept away by the beautifully ornate prose and dreamlike descriptions in The Riddle-Master of Hed, you'll be enchanted by The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. Sybel’s story unfolds with the same lush, evocative language, inviting you into a world where every sentence feels like a spell and the landscape is as magical as the plot.

... the intricate, immersive worldbuilding?

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

If you loved getting lost in the detailed cultures, histories, and legends of Morgon's world, you'll find the court of Maia in The Goblin Emperor equally compelling. Addison crafts a fully-realized empire with its own politics, customs, and languages—perfect for readers who crave worlds that feel alive and endlessly explorable.

... the coming-of-age journey of a young protagonist?

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

If Morgon's personal transformation and journey toward understanding his own power resonated with you, Ged’s story in A Wizard of Earthsea will too. Watch as Ged grows from a reckless boy into a wiser, more self-aware young man, facing inner and outer darkness in a beautifully mythic world.

... the epic, sweeping scope of the story?

Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay

If you were drawn to the grand, far-reaching stakes and the sense of a whole world hanging in the balance in The Riddle-Master of Hed, Tigana offers a similarly epic canvas. Multiple characters, nations, and years are woven together in a sweeping tale of memory, identity, and resistance.

... the use of mysterious, mythic magic?

The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia A. McKillip

If you were fascinated by the enigmatic, almost unknowable magic that shapes Morgon's journey, you'll be captivated by The Book of Atrix Wolfe. Magic here is equally elusive and haunting, entwined with ancient legends, lost identities, and a sense of wonder that lingers long after you turn the last page.
