Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

Setting a story in prehistory suggests a enormous potential, a feeling that all is new and possible. Lackey's latest created world (illustrated by husband Dixon) predates the setting of her Valdemar series by a millennium but never quite lives up to its expanded possibilities. The gryphon of the title is the charismatic Skandranon, leader of the gryphons, a race of birds just evolving into awareness. After establishing this intriguing premise, however, the tale soon bogs down in fantasy cliches as the main characters fight a standard war against the forces of evil. Although some of the novel's elements, like Skandranon's human friend Amberdrake, suggest a possible complexity, the plot is predictable and the overwritten battle scenes are difficult to follow. In the end, the evil Mage of Black Fire is destroyed, nearly everyone else lives and the chaotic magic of prehistory is tamed.

From Library Journal

As the tyrant-sorcerer Kiyamvir Ma'ar's forces sweep across the land in a relentless war of conquest, one man--Urtho, the Mage of Silence--arises as the leader of the opposition. Set a thousand years before the founding of Valdemar and the rise of the Herald Mages, the latest novel by Lackey and Dixon relates the story of the legendary black gryphon Skandranon Rashkae, his healer-companion Amberdrake, and the war that changed the face of a world forever. Featuring some of the authors' most endearing protagonists yet, this first in a projected dualogy is recommended for most fantasy collections.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Gryphons!, Mai 1 2004
The first Mercedes Lackey book I ever read(which does give me sort of a strange perspective on the timeline...); it got me hooked. I'm sure you've got better things to do than read the 64th rehash of the plot, so I'll simply say that the back- and inside-cover-summaries never explain things very well with Mercedes Lackey. It's probably one of the three greatest gryphon books of all time (the other two are 'Dark Lord of Derkholm' and 'Year of the Griffin', by Diana Wynne Jones-- another awesome author; check her stuff out!) and you should read it. Yes.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Days of Our Lives!!, Avril 28 2004
I just don't get it! The whole book doesn't make sense. This is a boring book revolving around some weird [adult] fantasy the authors have about therapists/clients and they try and get the reader involved with it. It rambles from one position to another and revolves around life in a camp. The camp life became so boring I was hoping there was a printing fault and all the pages slowly became blank. This book is about relationships FULL STOP! The fantasy part involves some flying bird things and it has no bad guy of any consequence. It's more like Days of Our Lives with a little magic thrown. If you buy it second hand for 99cents then you have paid 99cents plus postage too much. If I had got this book from the library instead of paying for it, I would not have bothered finishing it. There are only two books that I have paid for and not finished reading Wheel of Time (Book 1) and Althalus. Honestly this book is horrendous.

1.0étoiles sur 5 what a waste of time....., Avril 1 2004
Par Un client
First of all,there's typically NO ACTION,NO SUSPENSE,no anything at all! The only action there is is in the FIRST AND LAST CHAPTERS!I mean come ON....all it does is talk about problems going on with the good guys,and all the while Skandranon {the supposed hero}does practically nothing but heal himself after the first chapter.And what about the evil guys? How about an ambush,or attack,or SOME KIND OF WAR?They treat the bad guys like no big deal,and live happily ever after....what a waste.....
