I bought it recently, but haven't had >time to read it. I loved his two previous books! Deitz's new book is wonderful. (For the record, he has three books out: Windmaster's Bane, Firemaster's Doom and The Gryphon King. All are contemporary fantasy in the flavor of "War for the Oaks" or "Jack the Giant Killer", in which Fairie sort of overlays itself on top of contemporary society and normal, rational people get caught up in the middle. All are from Avon books in paperback). Gryphon King is set in the same environment as the first two books but is completely separate -- an entirely separate set of characters and an unrelated storyline. Some folks are likely to complain because Deitz waits about 100 pages before overtly tossing in any fantastic elements, but I didn't find that as a problem. It's a really fine book if you like contemporary fantasy (and a great introduction if you haven't read any).
