Sunsky and Nightsky may not be the most creative names, but I give the author A for her artistry and imagination. I wonder if the lowly hophas have much to contribute to the story.

Well I enjoy good fiction with easy and not more complex vocabularies, most of the complex word needs a dictionary for consultation and better understanding, but a very cool fiction for all.
I rate 3 out of 4 stars.
Well done.

The language is better suited to the time of when these beasts roamed the earth. It's well written from what I can see and the imagination runs wild on every page.

Wow a fantasy novel for all ages. Sounds good to me. Even though the plotline is a bit complicated you review shows how much you enjoyed reading this book. Good job with it.

I really enjoy fantasy but rarely see anything involving gryphons like this. I love how organized and planned out it seems to be. Looking forward to checking this one out.

The review contains high praises for the book and this intrigues me a lot. The unfamiliar terms made me research immediately like gryphon, thinking I may have a difficult time understanding the story but book seems to be carefully thought and exceptionally written so I am looking forward to dig into this book and find out what the decision Sunsky will be regarding Nightsky and the impact it will have in her life. Congrats to the author!

This genre does not appeal to me but I’m sure fans of fantasy genre will enjoy this. The protagonist falling in love with a black winged horse is too much outside my comfort zone. I appreciate your review.

Wow, it's been a loooong time since I've read a book that didn't have humans for main characters and this review makes me think it might be time to give it a chance. I do love a well-crafted fantasy world. Adding to my to-read list!

The author's debut novel is a wonderful well-written fantasy with gryphon, winged horses, and other mythical creatures . The characters are relatable, with strong background stories. This book takes the reader on a magical ride while teaching a moral lesson. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review and for bringing this book to my attention.

Fantasy fiction is my favorite genre. The characters in this book are not human so I don’t know if I can imagine them well. But the story seems good. I might try reading it soon. Thank you for the review!

I'm not much of a fantasy reader, but judging from your review this novel seems to go in depth in the development of important themes, so I'm intrigued.
Ciao :)

A fantasy novel about very relatable creatures. I like that it's exceptionally edited. This seams like a very nice book. I'm going to sample it and see if I'll like it as much. Thanks for the review.
