Do you love fantasy, with lots of clear images and a mysterious riddle? If so, then you will want to read "A Gathering of Gargoyles" by Meredith Ann Pierce.
This book is the second one out of three from a series called "The Darkangel Trilogy." It is about a young girl named Aeriel who saves her new husband, a darkangel, from White Witch. In the first book, called "The Darkangel," Aeriel sacrified her heart and gave it to her husband so that he would be able to turn back into a human after a spell was cast by the White Witch. In "A Gathering of Gargoyles," Aeriel is back and trying to get rid of the White Witch for good. But first she has to solve a riddle told to her by some maidens. In order to do that, she has to find an oracle to help her, and also find the six lost lons of the west, which are magical creatures that Aeriel thought had been killed Aeriel and a new friend set out on their trip, and on their way they find Aeriel's six gargoyle pets - Greyling, Cat Wing, Moon Calf, Eelbird, Rapter and Monkey-Lizard. Will they find what they are looking for? You will have to read the book to find out!
I greatly recommend this book for teen readers who like to read fantasy stories. This is a funny book that will keep all readers captivated from the very first page! The book is easy-to-read and easy-to-follow. Even though it is a fiction book, this fantasy story is written in an order that makes sense to the reader. It is well-organized. The author uses a lot of unfamiliar words to describe familiar objects. It would be easy to get confused by these new words, but the author does a good job explaining them in the story so that the reader knows exactly what she is talking about.
I really liked this book because it is a fantasy story, and it is the type of book that will not let you put it down once you start it! In it there are birds that are bigger than a man, horses that can fly, and a lot more. You can easily imagine the scenes and creatures, almost like you are in the story and can see everything clearly. I can't wait to read the other two books in this series! "A Gathering of Gargoyles" is written for teens and young adults.
