So I got to the part where it's revealed why there is a gryphon breeding program. I did enjoy the lead up, and the heist to getting the secret. And the part with the little guardian gryph'. The main plot is finally moving. And I am even starting to get some of the made up words.

I do find I am not a fan of these massage sessions. Character stuff is revealed. But I am just not interested in the massage process as presented here.

Now, it was a bit of a "One or two steps forward. One step back" on the breeding program. Urtho holds back how gryphons can breed on their own. But, he did it for a "good intention". Which, ....that is still a eugenics decision. Everyone looks at this discovery, and is like "aww". But that is still one person deciding who is fit to be parents. And I dont see that as aww. Hopefully there is more to that part later on.
