Summary – From Goodreads
The dying seer’s words spell doom for Irenya. If she stays in Dar Orien to save their way of life, she might never see her infant son again.
Hopelessly lost in the desert of Midrash, Irenya faces the legendary griffin and, without fanfare, a new seer is silently declared. An act of revenge delivers Irenya the knowledge she needs, but her return to Melbourne is tragically far from anything she had imagined.
An alien in her own world, she must decide her fate and that of her son Mikey. Out of time and place, Irenya braves new challenges and meets a fleetwalker, who teaches her something of his art. But civil unrest turns to outright conflict. Dar Orien is on a knife edge, and Irenya gives herself permission for a dangerous undertaking.
My Review
GriffinSinger is the second book in the GriffinSong trilogy. I really enjoyed reading this book from start to finish. There were many times that I did not want to put it down, I wanted to keep reading.
Irenya faces many more challenges and obstacles in this installment. Once she returns to Melbourne to only find that so much time has passed and nothing is what she thought it would be. She makes a choice to return to Dar Orien but not alone. I don't want to give away any spoilers so you will need to read the book to find out who she takes with here to Dar Orien.
The plot is so good in this one though. I enjoyed the first book but I really enjoyed this second one so much more. The characters were just as we left them in Songbird. I love most of the characters and their relationship with Irenya. We are introduced to some new characters who I enjoyed getting to know, especially the new MageGate. While new friendships are made there are also war plans being put into motion to help prevent an attack.
I was surprised by so many things throughout the story. But the ending really shocked me, I had to re-read it because I was so surprised. We are left with some wild cliffhangers and lots of unanswered questions. I can't wait to read the last installment to find out what will happen! I received this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
The title sounds so fascinating and love a good fantasy! Hope you enjoy this one here.
