Gryphon's Valor by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon (Kelvren's Saga, Book 2)

Book: Gryphon's Valor by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon

Rating: 4 stars 

Review Writer: Vihaan J



Gryphon's Valor is an exciting adventure set in the world of Valdemar. The story follows Kelvren, a courageous gryphon hero who’s back for more action after a near-fatal self-sacrifice that won him both respect and unexpected complications. As the second book in the Kelvren's Saga trilogy, it dives deep into the challenges of loyalty, duty, and the heavy cost of heroism.. What I really loved about this book was how real and relatable the characters felt, despite the fantastical setting. The dialogue was snappy and engaging, and I appreciated how the narrative balanced intense action with reflective moments. That said, there were a few things that didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Some parts of the plot leaned on familiar fantasy clichĂ©s, and the ending felt a bit too much like a cliffhanger. Overall, I’d recommend Gryphon's Valor to any teen who loves a good mix of fantasy adventure and character-driven storytelling. If you like epic journeys, intricate world-building, and series that keep you guessing, this book is definitely worth a read.
