I seldom read fantasy books but this one has really captivated me. Already read a sample and cannot wait further to read it. I am thankful for the reviewer for writing a lucid summary in the review. Thanks to this review, I am immediately going to add it in my TBR bookshelf.

An exciting tale of a gryphon who learns to be good again. Sounds original and appealing. The character development seems pretty good too. There is a lot going on in this book. And the illustrations are breathtaking in their details. With no profanity and explicit scenes, it is suitable for all ages. Thank you for your detailed analysis. Excellent review.

It seems to be a story of redemption and internal conflict. Talona, ​​now known as Tal, finds herself caught between her dark past and her desire for healing. Despite having lost her political power, she continues to be hated by her people, which adds a strong emotional component to her journey. Light Healer's suggestion to seek out Snow Wing for guidance shows that there is a path to possible redemption, though Tal resists, even rebelling against his family. This story promises to be a deep exploration of themes such as guilt, redemption, and internal struggle, all within a rich fantasy world.

Tal, the central character the story revolves around, seems to hold every aspect of the story, and how she redeemed herself seems worth reading this fantasy.

The Hermit Gryphon is a fiction story set five sun revolutions after Sunsky becomes the Oracle Queen. Talona, a character who was supposed to get soul healing from Light Healer, turns on her father, King Sun Quest, and Light Healer. She lands at Gargoyle's Scrubland, where she encounters gargoyles and is attacked by them. Despite her power, Tal is apprehended and imprisoned. The narrative revolves around Tal's effort to redeem herself by dominating other gryphons. The tale features excellent character development, particularly Griper's strong attachment. The editing is superb, and the graphics are breathtaking.

This is the first fantasy story I have read. The sample was a good introduction to the characters. The main character leaves her family and travels to a place of healing and teaching. She meets another character along the way, and they bond after escaping from an attack by bad characters. This book would be for all ages.

The gryphon appears to be an exotic creature and the story of their dealings. Mythical stories like The Hermit Gryphon are really creative. From the review, it is evident that the book contains life events resulting actions, which makes it interesting for the readers.

Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Sci-fi/fantasy books aren't a genre I enjoy reading. This one was easy to understand and the writing was excellent as you had mentioned. If I was going to read a book of this genre, this would be a great one. I hope many others will pick this up and enjoy the adventure.

This sounds like an engaging fantasy tale with strong character development and vivid details that bring the story to life. Tal’s journey from a hated outcast to redemption, guided by an unlikely friendship with a gargoyle, is especially intriguing. Congrats on BOTD!
