Violence: PG (some fighting)
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Because of the aftermath of the battle with the pregnant gryphon, Rowan is now the Royal Monster Hunter and her twin Rhydd is the heir. Rowan has to decide whether she is a Monster Hunter or a Monster Killer – and she will start with a test challenge of taking the baby gryphon to the mountains to be with its own kind. While she is escorted by her teachers, she also has along Dain, who does not seem to display much faith in Rowan. Thankfully she also has her pegasus, her jackalope, and together they may make more creature friends along the way.
I have not read book #1 in this series, but now I will be sure to go back and catch up. I didn’t really need it, though, to follow this action. Armstrong blends the right amount of danger with self-discovery and companionship and a healthy dash of mythical creatures.
