Series: Guardians of Ga'Hoole
Series Number: Book 1
Author: Kathryn Lasky
Genre: Fantasy, of course!
Discription: Soren is born into the forest of Tyto, a tranquil kngdom where the Barn Owls dwell. But evil lurks in the owl world,evil that threatens to shatter Tyto's peace and change the course of Sornen's life forever.
My point of view: This is a great book. It has all the elements for a great adventure. With 27 chapters and a good 219 pages, this is a great start to a suspenseful series.
Yet, many readers stop reading this book because it can be boring. Yes, there are a few dull moments, but the first three books are just basic information. They're the foundation of the series. Once you've set the foundation, the rest of the series is more interesting and suspenseful.
A very good 'Book 1' if you ask me.
Star-Rating categories:
1. Fantasy Level
****
Some of it contains bits and pieces of real info. on owls and there is a lot of adventure.
2. Good Main Character Personalities and Actions
*****
Soren is a really good main character. He has all the ingredients for a hero. Of course, the 'bad guys' don't have good and pure personalities, but most of the main characters do.
3. Good Morals and Virtues Level
***
Soren and 'The Band' show friendship, sticking together, and caring about each other.
Soren also cares for his family and the book shows a strong connection between them.
Overal, I'll give this book a good **** 1/2 stars.
Enjoy this book as much as I did!
TTFN,
Ky
