The Dark Portal: The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 3

Arrived on time , enjoyable books

Bought for my grandson. He loves his books and I'm sure he will love it. Great quality book.

This series just gets better and better with each book! It's fast becoming one of my favourites, and indeed, on of my kids favourites!This one is a bit darker and scarier than the rest but I loved that! Jake finds himself in Wales this time, visiting his mine, when strange things start happening! One thing I love about these books is the settings. The authors manage to pick the perfect setting for each story. This is no different, Wales is a beautiful place, add in a spooky mine, small village and you have a winner!Jake once again is such an exceptional character. He struggles with a lot of things but always does his best. At first he struggles with his wealth and finds it hard to deal with, but because of his friends, he snaps out of it. The character development from a pickpocket to what he is now is phenomenal.The plot is, once again, amazing. As I said, it's a bit darker and scarier than the rest but I think it needed to be. Jake always finds himself in trouble so a little scary is needed! Even though it's darker, it doesn't loose its trade mark wit, that I've come to love! We still get the funny, we just have an added tenseness this timw, which makes the story extraordinary.There isn't a lot more I can say about this without spoiling it, other than if you haven't read these books then you really need to! It has everything an amazing book needs! The authors have really captures my attention and my heart with these books and I can't recommend it enough! From it's fantastical creatures, to it's phenomenal writing, this is a must read for any age!!*I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I am really enjoying this series of magical fantasy written for young adults. The characters are likable, the stories fast-paced and entertaining. My Summer vacation get away series.

Well written and never boring. Love how canthe characters are portrayed with their hopes, flaws and fears...everyone who loves Harry Potter will like this too (if not even more ;) )

Book arrive

I love these books because there is nothing in them but adventure and the story. There isn’t a bunch of inappropriateness or any romance nonsense. Just sheer adventure and enjoyable reading. Highly recommend.

Jake and friends go to see his gold mine. while there a nearby mine and school belonging to the mine owner start having unexplained deaths, accidents and illnesses among the population. Now to find out the reasons and stop it.
