I did not enjoy this book.
It was boring and annoying in my opinion. I didn't enjoy the characters and the little bits of philosophy that crept through the story were too vague and childish to be interesting. The mage character, her name is stupid, is annoying and her relationship with her griffin is, despite all the effort Thorne put in to make it okay, is grooming and enslavement. They should have left the griffins nonsrntient.
The relationship between the main characters is drenched in modern concepts and it makes their dynamic insufferable to read.
HOWEVER: this book just wasn't written for people like me. I can see this story being relaxing and comforting for many readers.
I would recommend this book to new fantasy readers who read to relax rather than to stimulate their minds.
