Fleetwalker
Irenya O’Neil may be able to summon light from the stars, but is it enough to light the way through her darkest moment yet?
Her son Mikey is the realm’s new MageGate. Once again, the people of Dar Orien rejoice, ignoring the danger in relying on one source of power. Lose him and they lose everything.
Having found a new home and the love of an archprince, Irenya is beginning to accept her powerful gifts. But in the world of Dar Orien, her challenges are far from complete. She has come a long way from the terrified young woman who stumbled into Dar Orien with a shopping trolley. Can she now convince those in control that her way of accessing power is not a danger, but a pathway to new possibilities?
The words of the dying seer Fis burn in her mouth as she risks her life in her adopted world. The traitor Riadan is still plotting, and Irenya fears that he plans to take down Elaaron and claim the realm for himself. Until he’s found and stopped, no one she loves is safe.
As a MageVoice seer, Irenya’s visions will make the people of Dar Orien question all their beliefs. If they refuse to adapt, the realm can never be secure.
And how long can she ignore the ache that Mikey still believes he is her brother?
Can Irenya help to save her home, Dar Orien, and all whom she loves once and for all? Find out in this epic conclusion to the GriffinSong Trilogy!

The long-anticipated third volume in the GriffinSong trilogy is just maybe the best of them all. Fantasy lovers, if you haven't started on this series, now is definitely the time, because you'll be able to binge all three. Heaven.
Irenya O'Neil, a native of everyday Melbourne Australia, is back in Dar Orien, carrying dark memories and bright hopes for the future, but other players have wicked plans for the realm. Irenya, as an outsider whose ability to fleetwalk is different from the rest of the Gifteds in Dar Orien, has to push herself to her absolute limits to overcome a murderous plot of treason and mayhem. But even that might not be enough. With her son Mikey, the realm's only MageGate, in the clutches of the traitors, the future of everyone is threatened.
Cue adventure, danger, quest, and wagering everything ... No spoilers!
Happy sigh. This is fantasy in the best tradition, but also with an intelligent, wise eye that queries tradition and asks it to do more, go further, look more compassionately.
I'm planning to re-read the entire series as soon as I can clear my decks, but I'd also love author J Victoria Michael to consider a companion volume to the GriffinSong series. I would love to hear more about fleetwalking, its origins, uses, history etc; more about the griffins (please!), more about the worship of Meia, more about how Irenya and lovely archprince Elaaron transform the land of Dar Orien with their new knowledge.
A pitch-perfect end to an enjoyable series.

Fleetwalker is the final book in this fun fantasy trilogy. I have enjoyed all three books and I would recommend reading them if you like fantasy reads.
Irenya is living in Dar Orien and is feeling more comfortable with the realm and the people. Although there are some that might not like her being there. She has found out that she is a MageGate Seer and sees visions, some of which frighten her. Her son Mikey is the realm's MageGate and he still doesn't know the truth about her. Irenya is a Fleetwalker that doesn't need a MageGate to be able to use her power. She believes that the others can also use their powers without the need for a MageGate and tries to convince them of this. The realm could never be secure and safe if they don't come to this realization.
If that isn't enough there is a traitor that wants the Arch Prince, Elaaron and his daughter dead. Will Irenya, Elaaron and the others be able to overcome the obsticles or will the realm be overtaken? Irenya and Elaaron are in love but will it be able to last? You need to read this awesome trilogy to find out!
I have enjoyed these books from the beginning when Irenya stumbled into Dar Orien from Australia. She has come so far with so many things that could have stopped her. She also has had the opportunity to not return to Dar Orien but I was so glad that she did. I liked the ending of the book and series too. I wish it would have been longer at the end but I am happy with the ending. This e-book was provided to me for review. This did not affect my review in any way.

What a lovely conclusion to the GriffinSong Trilogy!
It was incredible to follow along with Irenya's journey as she makes her way in the realm of Dar Orien.
FleetWalker picks up right where GriffinSinger left off, following Irenya as she further develops her fleetwalking ability, encounters dangerous situations, and is forced to make tough decisions. She is thrown further into perilous moments as the fate of Dar Orien hangs in the balance with her and her son Mickey, the new MageGate, seemingly at the center of it. Though her actions and abilities are not the sole determinant of the direction Dar Orien will go in, they play a big part in the fate of the realm.
I really enjoyed this last book of the GriffinSong Trilogy. It might have been my favorite of the three. I feel like it had the same excitement and thrill of the first two books. But what I really enjoyed in this book was that I feel like you could see the development of Irenya's character. She's matured because of all that she's been through in the first two books and it really shows. Irenya has grown but has still kept her spark and I really appreciated that.
This was such a good story! I actually would have loved to read more about Irenya and the new journey that she now finds herself on. Overall, FleetWalker was a great read and I would definitely recommend to fantasy lovers!
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

This was such a great read to finish up this series by J. Victoria Micheal. I look forward to getting the physical book and re-reading all three in the series again.

An extremely gifted writer who puts a lot of thought into her books. If you enjoy magical realism, (Book 3 from the Griffinsong Trilogy), you will love this book.
