Review

I loved Stacey's sense of humor throw out the book, with a little polishing it could have me laughing from start to ending enjoying myself immensely. Even thought I started with book 2 it feels well explained, like one of those series where they start in the middle, you get what is happening and latter on you can go and glance at what how it all started.

I enjoyed the originality of the story, okay maybe the whole "chosen one" thing was not as original but the part of her having the essence of the Gryphon and the way the army of darkness works was a breath of fresh air. Maybe because of that I was disappointed when a part of the story felt predictable, I guess I was waiting for this story to fooled me hard and then look at me in the face with a smug grin completely satisfied by having deceived me in such a way.

I can't wait to visit book one and see what I missed and for book three to come out and see what surprises it holds.
