The Gryphonpike Chronicles

Twice Drowned Dragon

Sarah Escorsa

Actual rating: 3.5 stars.

Quite a few people —some of them my very own Friends of Despicable Book Taste (FoDBT™)— seem to think the books in this series are naught but subpar accounts of crappy D&D quests. 



My FoDBT™ are so unintentionally funny sometimes. And the way they keep reading books wrong is truly hilarious astonishing. Poor things. They must have fallen victim to the deadly I Read All Books Back to Front and Upside Down Ergo My Opinion Cannot Be Trusted Virus (IRABBtFaUDEMYCBTV™). How sad indeed. 

Anyway, want to know why you shouldn’t listen to the Lovely People of the Slightly Erroneous Judgment (LPotSEJ™) and read the books in this series despite everything they have to say against them? Because yes, these stories are kinda sorta light and yes, they are kinda sorta your typical Adventure Quest Type Thingie (AQTT™), but: they are also fun and entertaining and fast-paced with a great cast of characters (need I remind you that one of them is a bloody shrimping mini-unicorn?!) and cool creatures and weird beasts and cool fights and stuff. Also, they are cheap, quick reads. What more could you bloody fishing want, I ask you, Tiny Decapods mine?! “Nothing,” you say? Thought so. Ergo: 



· Book 1: Witch Hunt ★★★★
· Book 3: A Stone's Throw ★★★★
· Book 4: Dead of Knight ★★★★
· Book 5: Brood Mother ★★★★
· Book 6: Into the North ★★★★★
