Goodness I enjoyed this! I think I like it even better than Dark Lord of Derkholm, and that's saying quite a lot! The griffins are such great characters--actually, most of the characters are great--and I love all the magical university politics!

Avendolo trovato tra i libri per adulti, ed essendo un'edizione molto più seria degli altri libri di Diana Wynne Jones che ho, ero partita dal presupposto che fosse, appunto, per adulti.
Invece tanto per cambiare era decisamente un libro per ragazzi XD
Molto carino comunque, anche se il finale è un po' troppo sfacciatamente romantico per i miei gusti.
