The Riddle (Pellinor #2)

Reader reviewed by Jennifer

I thought that this book was, I believe, better than the first. It includes love, journeys, death, and once again, magic. Maerad and Cadvan get in a fight and one may never come back in the end. Maerad meets someone who protects her and harms her at the same time, the Winter King. Old friends and new friends come in this book. If you got hooked on the first book, you will be happy to know that there are 4 altogether. With 3 out already, you're going to wish it went on and on and on.

The Riddle is my favorite book. It is fantasy and adventure. I ike it because it is exciting and has a lot of adventure. In the book, Maerad and Cadvan are trtying to find the Riddle of the Treesong and escape their enemies. They are hunted by the Dark and the Light.

Maerad has accepted her identity as Elednor, the Fire Lily, and, in doing so, agreed to seek the Treesong in the land of the Nameless one. She travels northward, through the lands from which her father came, and eventually, with the help of her newfound relatives, arrives at the palace of her greatest enemy.

As soon as I bought The Naming, I found myself looking soulfully at The Riddle as it sat on the bookstore shelf, but it was not cheap- this book contains several appendices, all fascinating. When my grandmother gave me a copy of it for Christmas the appendices were the first part I read.

In the pages of The Riddle all the emotions of nature ae conveyed in a miraculous way, and reading it is like coming home.
