I don't know why I remembered this one being my least favorite of this trilogy... it was more exciting than I originally expected. I liked Kechara's role - the murder and intrigue was fun too! All in all, this is a fun series. I remember quite a bit about the next one, _The Silver Gryphon_. That's the one that revolves around Skan and Drake's children. I think I still like the first one the best, but this one is certainly just as good!
With this series, wish gryphons were real. An enjoyable fantasy.
The legend continues and grows in this action packed saga. It managed to keep my attention easily. Quick, easy read.
