Description
“Galloay’s penned more than a captivatingly voyeuristic novel. It’s piquant and playful as she puts her readers in touch with the battle of emotions.”
-BookViral Review
A pirate fleet conquering the seas.
A princess disobeying the king’s direct orders.
A villain who’s fallen for a woman he can never marry.
A commoner protecting the princess at all costs.
Princess Zoya and several bachelors competing for her hand in marriage are captured by pirates. Her enemies will brutally use her gryphons to conquer and destroy if she doesn’t rescue them. Unfortunately, one suitor is a mole working against her every action.
Zoya’s on a mission to uncover the mole’s identity—even as she pursues her stolen gryphons across the globe. But there are worse things to be had. Zoya doesn’t know which foreign nation is telling the truth. Some are playing games and making backhanded alliances. The clock is ticking. There’s only so much time until the pirates conquer the seas and steal her family’s opal mines. …
Warning: Side effects to reading this story might include falling in love with handsome book characters, and imagining yourself riding on gryphons, ignoring the outside world for a day, or two, and feeling heroic as you fight off pirates. Read at your own risk!
This is the epic conclusion to the Royal Matchmaking Competition Series.

As someone who enjoys a bit of spice in their reads, I found The Royal Matchmaking Competition: The Flight of the Gryphons to be a delightful and refreshing change of pace.
The inclusion of pirates added an exciting twist to the story, making the adventure even more thrilling. The mystery of trying to figure out who the mole was kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book.
Overall, The Flight of the Gryphons is a perfect read for those who appreciate a light, yet emotionally satisfying story. Highly recommended for fans of YA fantasy romance!

So I will admit that I wasn't as crazy about this installment as the others. I'm still giving it 4 stars because I really enjoy how easy these are to read and I love a good Bachelor trope with hints of magic, but the final selection is what made this go downhill for me. I have lots of thoughts, but all of them spoilers. Just know that I'm not the forgive & forget type.
I will say - I didn't know this would be the last installment of the RMC and I absolutely loved the newspaper clippings at the end. It was a nice way to wrap things up without me questioning, "Well? What happened next?" That being said, I'm still bummed there won't be another. I've really been enjoying my time with these.
