I read it over and over again. I bought this but borrow Dark Lord of Derkholm from the library.

What can I say about this book that can even begin to touch how I feel about it? Elda is a bit of a misfit, but she's instant friends with a lot of other misfit prodigies. We get to see the world after Mr. Chesney loses control. I loved it.

would love a griffin - but not sure I could keep up
I love this author so much! This book (and the rest in this series) were just fantastic! Yes, I'm an adult, but there is something about how she writes that draws me in! She's definitely one of my favorite authors!
Loved it. recommend it if you are fan of the author then definitely one of her good series. I still like Chronicles of Christomanci more than this series but I like this series better than Howl's series.
I enjoyed the sequel even more than the Dark Lord of Derkhelm. Diana Wynne Jones creates delightful, rich characters and detailed, creative stories that are thoroughly enjoyable.
LOVE IT. One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. It is a sequel to the Dark Lord of Dirkhelm and I personally enjoy it more than the first book. It focuses in on the Wizard University and on Dirk's youngest griffon daughter, Elda. Events go from not-so-simple to complex to Holy Cow! A great read for fantasy fans.
Jones always goes a little deeper into her character's Fears or aspirations than cheesy fantasy writers. In this book, we see a magical wizarding school that is badly run accepting a series of seemingly rich students with potentially disastrous results. Lighter in tone than its predecessor, the Dark Lord of Derkholm, we see characters dealing with love, bad teachers, finding talents, and magic that operates with rules of its own. Lots of likable characters, some wit, and some mystery.
For all the wild fantasy elements, this is a savage satire on academic life. I may not have gone to college with griffins, but I sure know some of the absurd (and LAZY) professors delineated in this book, as well as the crappy cafeteria and excessive beer consumption. The fantasy stuff is funny as well, and I'm happy to see friends from Derkholm again. How I wish Diana Wynne Jones could still fill my shelves!
