Larena Wirum, self-proclaimed avid romance, science fiction and suspense reader from Scottsdale, Arizona, where she lives with her significant other and two kitties:
"This is a book that draws you into the story from the very first page and keeps you reading until the last page and wishing for more. The world building is fantastic and believable. It is intense in places, but keeps the story moving along wonderfully. The action is non-stop. It isn't for the faint of heart...I think it kept me guessing what was going to happen next, and when I read or watch mystery or thrillers I can usually figure out who did it but this one kept me guessing. I really enjoy a book that can do that."
Larena adds, "I am lucky enough that he (significant other) is willing to indulge my book reading habit. My bookcases are bulging."
Flight of the Gryphon is a tremendously exciting, complex tapestry of character, plot, future history, prehistoric life, violence, romance, familial ties, and many other aspects of the common human condition, wrapped in a venue that is immediately and permanently enticing. Truly a book worthy of the Keeper Shelf, Flight of the Gryphon magnetises the reader’s attention throughout. Author Ann Durand has done an outstanding job of combining variant threads into this very involuted weave successfully. This story is an excellent reader for lovers of futuristic, sci fi, fantasy, and general romance. The sensuality is not explicit, but it does contain numerous scenes of extreme violence.
Overall rating: Five hearts - highest rating Sensuality rating: Mildly Sensual, but contains graphic violence
