Excellent sequel

I listened to the first book in this series earlier this year and enjoyed it so much I decided to try the rest of the series.

This second book in the series had just as much charm as the first, though perhaps not quite as much excitement or intrigue. There is a mystery, however, as Celie is having to figure out why a gryphon egg has appeared in a new tower in the castle and why the castle seems to want her to raise the baby gryphon in secret.

Just like in the first book I enjoyed the character's personalities and the teamwork between the children whether siblings or friends. (I love seeing healthy sibling relationships in books. ❤) Though certain aspects of the plot once again put much of the responsibility for dealing with the problems on the children, I once again appreciated that the adults were not portrayed as stupid or incompetent and that Celie wanted to involve her parents in what was going on, but was simply kept from doing so for by the castle for a while. Once the parents were able, they didn't hesitate to try to help.

The only mild disappointment was that I wasn't expecting a cliffhanger ending since the first book wrapped itself up so tidily, but a cliffhanger there was. Still, it does its job and I will read the next book, so that's not much of a complaint. I'm excited to see what happens!

Love this book😍

I love this book and the rest of the series!!! Great reader!!! Great story!!! The story has a great plot😄

Amazing book

This book is one of my favorite books and it is just a great book to read to pass the time

great family book and it is also a great book to listen to by yourself!!!!!!

Brilliant and Fun

During the current trend of Youth fiction saturated with dystopia, Jessica Day George has a gift for weaving a fun and intriguing story, that's clean and easy to follow, allowing youth to be heroes but not disregarding positive parental involvement.

Best sequel ever

This is one of the best sequels of book series I have ever read. There is a good plot, story line, characters, mystery, and edge-of-your-seat excitement. I would recommend listening to this on long road trips, plane rides, trains, or any other transportation or just in general.

Dumb

Very Well Written

Reading this Series with my 8yr daughter. We had to keep reading to find out what happens next. Very inviting with great descriptions.
