Query: Pretty good, for a sequel

In this sequel to the terrific The Dark Lord of Derkholm, Derk's youngest griffin daughter Elda sets of for wizarding university. Her father, now a hero after helping rid the world of Mr. Chesney's tours, disapproves of the university and only agrees to let Elda go after she pushes a mountain slightly out of shape. Needless to say, the school has never had a griffin student before and some adjustments are necessary. Elda soon makes a group of friends among the other first year students; none of them are exactly average, either. Multiple adventures ensue...This is a good book: well plotted, occasionally touching, and certainly funny. My only complaint is that it does not live up to Dark Lord and The Tough Guide to Fantasyland. Few sequels do, I think, especially when the first book(s) are so very original. But don't let this put you off the series. Start with one of the first two -- it doesn't matter which order -- and then try Year of the Griffin.
