Scott started reading The Black Gryphon (Valdemar: Mage Wars #1) by Mercedes Lackey (Mage Wars (1))
Finally ready to start this. I have been wanting a griffon book for so long. And after some searching, and false starts, I have a book -about- griffons.
In this one, gryphons that talk, have magic, have relationships, fantastical creations, jobs, wars, arrogance, regrets. And who still prefer to eat raw meat. I like that so far (in 3 chapters) there has been a detailed narration of how Skandranon flies, how to repair his wings, and how he eats like an eagle while talking to his boss/ruler.
