I feel like a total doofus. <br /><br />I'm going to sound like a parrot, but I love that she lives in a tree. <br /><br />I used to climb really high up in my grandmothers tree and stay there for hours. Of course then I was too afraid to get myself down, so my dad would have to come and rescue me. Also, the description of the gryphon was amazing. I could see all everything in my mind.

The writing is easy and lyrical, so much so that I did not notice the little things said previously by others.
