Most children go through a dinosaur phase. Learning all the tongue-twisting names, picking favourites based on ferocity, armour, or sheer size. For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite. For all those child dino fanatics who didn’t grow up to become paleontologists, dinosaurs seem like something out of mythology. They are dragons, pictures in books, abstract, other, extinct.

It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, a majestic wingspan, keen magesight, and sharp intelligence. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm.

Just wish the one scene were in the right place
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
There is one scene that was out of order. I wish that weren't the case... I doubt that it is the case in the print version. Otherwise, I think it was great.
What did you like best about this story?
Maerad is a deeply rich and complex character. I enjoyed listening to her thoughts and how they conflicted with one another. I think we all see the contradictions between the different roles in our lives and get frustrated and confused by them. The author mirrored the reality of that very well.
Which scene was your favorite?
I loved her flight from Arkon and Maerad's inner turmoil. Having gone through a divorce, I undestand the confusion and inner chaos. You still care about that person, but you know they are not good for you. They make you feel trapped, but also loved. It is a difficult situation to be in.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but I listened to it many times.
Any additional comments?
Looking forward to listening to the next one.

Great story, didnt like the narrator.
Where does The Riddle rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I love this series and I have read all the books. I got the audiobook as something familiar to listen to on a long drive and I thought it would be nice to revisit the story. The story is as good as ever but I did not like the narrator's voice. It was too breathy and that often brought me out of the story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hem - is my favorite in the series.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Eloise Oxer?
I will probably finish out the rest of the books because I like the story so much. Apart from that I will avoid books read by Ms. Oxer

Good book
Any additional comments?
Chapter 19 of section two is actually half ch. 19 and half chapter 21. It is confusing.

Wonderful, but skips, PLEASE FIX!!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I love these books and the story telling. However, toward chapter 29 it skips to the middle of the next chapter. It's very confusing... I tried to re download from my cloud and it did not help. If I didn't own the book and know the story well, it would have been very confusing.
What could Alison Croggon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Please make sure Audible has the chapters chronologically correct. You are a brilliant author. :)
What about Eloise Oxer’s performance did you like?
She was amazing!
Any additional comments?
Please fix this problem so others can enjoy it too.

Wonderful story, slight problem with audiobook
Any additional comments?
As another reviewer mentioned, one of the chapters has parts of a chapter switched, with the second part first and the first last. Since I've read this book before it wasn't *terribly* confusing, but for a first time reader/listener, I have the feeling it would be quite confusing considering there's nothing to indicate that this is what's happening.
