Gryphon in Light | Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon

so-so

I ❤️ that this is following up on the🦉 Knight series, which I need to reread, but YuCk to forcing in political commentary. I like political commentary, but it should be part of the story, and it is NOT here. Once they get that out of the way, it‘s a good book.
A griffin stops a rebellion and saves a Valdemar commander, but ancient magic is used to save the griffin, leading to complications and a quest.
3/5 read for the second half of the book

dabbe Castle, you crack me up. 🖤🐾🖤 2y

iread2much @dabbe he can be pretty funny sometimes 2y

dabbe @iread2much His coat is uber-gorgeous in this pick! 🖤🐾🖤 2y

iread2much @dabbe thank you! It‘s rare for a brindle to be so clear, his mother‘s brindle coat is amazing! 2y

Gryphon in Light | Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon

so-so

The Valdemar series is a favorite of mine stemming from high school, and I try to keep up with the new installments, even if I don't think they quite capture the spark of Lackey's earlier work. I do think it's a bit fascinating how Lackey is exploring alternately between the early and most recent history of Valdemar in her most recent books.

2 down for #SummerEndReadathon!

Wowza!! I have been waiting 23 years for this book!! Sure, I‘ve enjoyed gaps being filled in on Valdemar history, but I‘ve wanted to know what happened after the conclusion of OWLKNIGHT since I finished it in 2000. I had such fun reading this one— though it makes me want to re-read all the Valdemar books all over again! I loved seeing familiar characters again, as well as newly introduced ones! This journey is thrilling; I can‘t wait for more!

Light_of_Aether I'm happy to see another series about the gryphons, and another Valdemar fan! 2y

TorieStorieS @Light_of_Aether Same!! My father-in-law started reading them last year, too! I have been a fan for so very long that some of my mass markets are literally falling apart from re-reads!🤣 2y

Light_of_Aether Wow! That's a lot of re-reads! I haven't read the entire series, but I started reading them in publication order a few months ago. I'm still on Arrow's Fall 😂. I'm not fond of the second half of the book which is why it's been taking so long. How is your FIL enjoying them? I feel like Mercedes Lackey isn't very well known compared to other authors. 2y

TorieStorieS @Light_of_Aether I think I started reading her in 1994-ish when she had a bigger following… My FIL isn‘t reading them in publication order- he stumbled across the Albrecht duology in a single volume and started there. He‘s been skipping around a bit, but overall liking them more than I expected! But he‘s enjoyed most of my fantasy favorites, though I never gifted him one of these! 2y

The Griffin and the Minor Canon | Frank R. Stockton

pick

This is my son Griffin (also seen as The Grinch a couple of my posts back) reading to his son, Canon. Yesterday, he pulled a couple of his old picture books (think 1990‘s) from my shelves for Canon. All of a sudden I recalled the tagged stored in a bucket of our paperback picture books. What are the odds (even the spelling)!?

marleed @Gissy @CoverToCoverGirl @Reggie @UwannaPublishme Thank you! It is fun to have grandbabies as the background of my pics these days! And I can‘t believe I‘ve had that book in my collection for some 30 years and then all of a sudden the title and it‘s significance just popped into my head. It took me all of 3 minutes to locate the book - and the look in my son‘s face when I handed it to him was priceless! 3y

DivineDiana Priceless indeed!❤️❤️📚 (edited) 3y

marleed @DivineDiana It‘s divine :). I found a used hard copy online (my copy is paperback) and had to take my chances and order it. It arrived quickly! It has library markings but is in very good condition. I can‘t wait to give it to my Griffin and Canon at Christmas. 3y

A Darkness of Dragons | S A Patrick

After soooooo many years of reading a darkness of dragons and wishing for the sequels I have finally got them! I found them by mistake too. I enjoyed the first book and hated the cliff hanger ending. I'll finally get my answers! Lol. Anyone know them? #fantasy #piedpiper #rats #magic #dragons #griffins #battle #friendship #sorcery #curse
