The Flight of the Griffin edition by CM Gray Children eBooks
I am not a kid by any leap of the imagination but I loved this book. It's characters had many exciting adventures to magical places with newly made magical creatures. For me, the best part was the story line that was clean - sorry to all but no sex, profanity, blood, or gore - that is why I find books in this age group so much more fun to read. I did all the other stuff before, curiosity being the reason, and now I like these types of fantasy books. When I finish them I pass them on to my middle school granddaughter.Must read - Cynthia

The Flight of the Griffin edition by CM Gray Children eBooks Reviews
What can four orphaned boys do in a world influenced by chaos to bring order? A fun, good-versus-evil fantasy adventure with sailing, exploring and, yes, even magical flight. I enjoyed the wind in my hair... It's a journey with them on their quest to follow the book of instructions as they press on with the help of a few special friends. Sometimes we don't know our destination, only the next step! I really liked the character of their female counterpart and how they all grew along the way.
what a sweet and wonderful story! I love the idea of children (around12yo) playing the heroes in the story. these boys and girl are long foretold to walk the quest to set chaos and order back in balance. but this is all one big surprise to them, except for the cat, she knows. ) this story has it all innocence, heroes, good vs evil, humor, magic, demons, wizards, and magical items. I really love the hard life, down on your luck characters of the boys but they don't allow circumstances to dictate who they are. they are all orphans who just happened to meet each other and formed a bond as well as a family. they fuss, have fun and are just as ornery as any other brothers. they each have a special talent that makes them critical to the success of the group and the quest. Will a cat, a magical book, & a magical gift to each of the heroes be enough to ensure the quest succeeds? Will all of the heroes survive the quest? & what about that cat? ) I really liked it! well edited & a great read for young teens to adults. there are some battles but they're not gruesome just a stab here and there to a demons eye is about the worst. ) there isn't bad language or sex scenes, so definitely ok for the younger teens. there is a second book! I'm so excited!!
*note to author I initially was going to give you 5 stars however the ending dropped it to a 4 because you had the Fat man and his entourage back in the town at the same time as our heroes when that wasn't possible. you gave no explanation let alone a plausible explanation. So this was a real bummer! I hate it when authors think readers won't catch such things! ( however, this was not catastrophic or anything. I'll still read #2. ) maybe the answer is there! Lol
Flight of the Griffin - C. M. Gray - four and a half stars
Flight of the Griffin by author C. M. Gray is a wonderful adventure for young teens but I found it fine for all ages. It is the end times for the world, and the tale opens when Pardigan, the boy-thief, steals a knife and a book from a merchant's locked cabinet and sets the events into motion. Quint, the leader of his group of friends is the strongest and is a fighter. Loras is the boy-magician whose master died before Loras could learn what he needed to know and who's magic never works right. Tarent is a dreamer, a storyteller and he keeps the other boys' spirits up when times are hard. Orphans all, they live on the abandoned boat, The Griffin.
Along with the knife and other loot from the merchant's house, Pardigan has also gained a strange, magical talking cat named Mahra. This cat who changes back and forth from a girl, to an owl, to a cat, depending on her mood, knows how to unlock the secrets of the magical knife and book. They do as they are told to and become the Magician, Thief, Priest and Fighter, four heroes with a task to right the balance of the world which must have equal amounts of Order and Chaos. They have been chosen to be the Soldiers for Order and to oppose Chaos in a quest that pits them against magic, demons and `The Hawk,' an evil hunter of men.
I really like the way the four boys are real - they are written as boys are, unfinished and not quite men yet, but the promise of their adulthood is there in each of them. Mahra is an old soul (literally hundreds of years old) and is written as such, but she is also young in many ways.
The travels and adventures the boys and Mahra have are well written and believable. The scenery and the backgrounds against which the tale takes place are rich and yet not overdone. I would recommend this book to anyone who simply loves a good adventure.
I'm a little divided between giving this one a four or five star rating. So I've settled for four and one half. The Flight of the Griffin is a fun fantasy adventure perfect for the middle grade reader. It has likeable young characters, a dastardly villain with his hired hunter/henchman, the struggle between the powers of good and evil (the 'Source' and 'Chaos'), and plenty of magic. It was well paced and contained great little details like including images of the poetic magic book that sets the young heroes on their quest of 'challenges.'
The story follows four boys who fall into a quest that involves finding three very important items necessary to accomplish a spell that will restore the balance of power between the Source and Chaos. To begin their adventure, the boys are transformed into a fighter, a thief, a priest, and a magician. Accompanied by an unusual shape shifting girl, the boys encounter many obstacles and dangerous situations along the way.
I really liked the story and think it would probably appeal to readers who enjoyed Cornelia Funke's Inkheart series and maybe some of the early Robert Jordan Wheel of Time novels. I think it could have used a few more dire situations and little more suspense to keep the reader truly glued to the story, but I think it was very well done.
I am not a kid by any leap of the imagination but I loved this book. It's characters had many exciting adventures to magical places with newly made magical creatures. For me, the best part was the story line that was clean - sorry to all but no sex, profanity, blood, or gore - that is why I find books in this age group so much more fun to read. I did all the other stuff before, curiosity being the reason, and now I like these types of fantasy books. When I finish them I pass them on to my middle school granddaughter.
