The Silver Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon
1.0
When I started this installment, it was such a relief to get away from Amberdrake and Skandranon that I happily plowed through the first few chapters.
Unfortunately, the rest of the read is fairly tedious, with the same cycle of hiking, making camp, making food, eating, talking/thinking about what had caused the crash, and seeing something move in the shadows. I generally like survival stories, but this was boring!
We don't get any real confrontation until the end of the book, and The romance subplot has one scene in the early part of the book and.... a footnote at the end? A major moment of the climax relies on
I feel sad. I know there are people that love these books and love the gryphons, but I'm just glad it's over and that I never have to go back.
