Yeah.... so, I had hoped that the second book in the series would start to bring up my opinion of the story, but it didn't. I have a lot of complaints with this one.
This is definitely written for the wrong audience.
As I said previously, I really think this book suffers for its audience. There's a paradox in the subject matter; on the one hand, Lasky wants to deal with themes such as Stockholm Syndrome, cannibalism, and child soldiers, but at the same time, she has to write these themes so they're accessible to her audience... which, unfortunately, is elementary and middle school students.
It's really ridiculous at times. One minute, the characters will be discussing cannibalism of children and even unhatched fetuses, and yet the next minute they'll be vowing to beat the "badbutts". Really? The cannibalistic badbutts?
I can't place the subgenre. Are we talking straight anthropomorphism of owls? Or are we talking magical owls?
At this point in the series, I can't tell if it's fantasy or just anthropomorphism. Are the owls just absurdly smart and humanized? They do, after all, have weapons, armies, kingdoms, and even a religion. Or is there some kind of magic going on? The problems with finding Ga'Hoole implies it; weather that causes people to fly past the Ga'Hoole tree without seeing it because they don't have clear hearts or whatever certainly screams of magic. But the reveal that flecks are science, not magic implies an effort to keep magical elements out of the story.
As I'm writing this based on notes I took a few weeks ago, I have since read most of the later books. The owls are indeed magic, but more on that in later reviews.
There are some very unfortunate racial undertones.
Mrs. Plithiver makes me nauseous. She was kidnapped as a child and forced to serve Soren's family. In the present day, she is the family's exceptionally devoted nanny, and she has developed an intense reverence of owls and inexplicable hatred for other kinds of birds (at whom she spends at least a quarter of her lines launching what are obviously racial slurs). Not only is her character revoltingly reminiscent of mammy stereotypes, she's also exceptionally racist herself.
So, where does her racism come from? Oh, that's simple. The main characters all have lines devoted to their hatred of other bird species. The narrative makes it astoundingly clear that owls are good, clean, and noble, and all other birds range from "comes close to owls" with eagles to "murderous scourge of the earth" with crows to "dumber than shit" with seagulls and puffins.
And no one is ever offended by this in-story. The seagulls laugh uproariously at "wet pooper" jokes, the puffins are a source of self-depreciating humor, crows are straight-up Always Chaotic Evil serial killers with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and even the characters who object to the offensive jokes (Otulissa, Baran) aren't upset that the jokes are prejudiced--just that they're crude and ignoble. Are you serious?
Meanwhile, the "wet pooper" jokes make no fucking sense to begin with! In-universe, the owl's main justification for their species discrimination is that their digestive system is nice and clean, whereas all other birds leave shit lying around because they don't have owl's noble gizzards to enable yarping pellets. Except, you know, that's not true. All birds have gizzards, including those totally disgusting crows. And, for the record owls do excrete typical white bird droppings. So this is me calling you on your bullshit, oh noble Guardians.
This could be pardonable as a cultural character flaw if not for one key element that isn't yet revealed in this book: the major enemies of the series are the Pure Ones. What's their evil, evil sin? Racism.
Where are the people, and where is this supposed to take place?
Or, as the birds call us, the "Others". The owls are show to admire if not revere us and the structures we left behind after we went extinct.
Except... what happened? How did we go extinct? Did we just up and disappear? Whatever happened, it was cataclysmic enough that the best survivalist species ever was completely wiped out, but ever other common North American creature is still roaming the forests without the faintest hint of any evolution via natural selection.
So apparently, we managed to cause an Apocalypse that left all of our buildings intact for thousands of subsequent years (bullshit, because stained glass and paintings in churches wouldn't last that long--and yet they appear in the story inside the crumbling stone buildings) and wiped out every single human and nothing else. Whatever Apocalypse that is, I would love to hear about it. All I've got is some kind of rapture event.
Meanwhile, I can't tell where the heck Ga'Hoole is supposed to be. The region isn't remotely recognizable, and it changes from forest to desert to arctic in a relatively tiny land area. What gives? It's not like enough time has passed for the plates to shift significantly.
*grumble* Normally, I wouldn't complain about something like that. It's a fantasy map--who cares if it's ambiguously placed, right? Except this is supposed to be a future of our world, so I'd like to see a future of our world, not some half-assed "it could be anywhere!" map that doesn't make any geographic sense.
Why is Ga'Hoole a myth?
The first book and part of this one builds Ga'Hoole up as this mysterious kingdom that hasn't been located in hundreds of years. It's so mysterious that most owls don't think it really exists.
...except a group of kids manage to find it with relatively little trouble, and the Guardians are incredibly active in the Southern kingdom. Day-in and day-out, the collier and weather chaws are flying into forest fires across the kingdom. The navigation and search-and-rescue chaws are routinely saving hatchlings, returning them to their parents if at all possible. (Meaning the parents would certainly know something was up, if not exactly what.) The rogue smiths across the kingdom are actively spying for the Guardians. So how does no one notice they're there, when they're everywhere!
I just don't know what to do with this series.
I really wanted to like it. And yet I'm finding myself wishing I hadn't wasted my time reading it. (It's fifteen books long; that's a lot of time I could have spent on other series!) I really can't understand how this series is as popular as it is.

This second book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole was just as good as the first. Continuing directly from the first, it is the story of our band of owls' journey from the Desert of Kuneer through the Beeks and on to the great Ga'Hoole tree on the island of Hoole. Once they arrive at the great tree, it is even more than the expected. All the legends or myths they had heard as young owls are true. The four friends live together in the same hollow but they are tapped(selected) to train for different specializations. This second installment moves at an even faster pace than the first volume. The story races along as the band of owls adapt to life in the tree and as they train and aspire to become Guardians. I know there are 15 books in the main story and two spin-off books now. But if they are all as good as the first two, I have a lot of great reading ahead of me.

کماکان بر نظر خود استوارم که به نظر میرسد ما با جزئی دیگر از یک داستان بزرگ روبرو هستیم. داستانی که همه چیز مرحله به مرحله و به آرامی روشن و مشخص خواهد شد؛ خیلی آرام. داستانی بر پایهی موقعیتهای فراوان. با این تفاوت که موقعیتهای این جلد تنها بر افزایش ضرباهنگ و تهییج مخاطب متمرکز نیست و بخش اعظم موقعیتها بر تعمیق داستان وشخصیتها استوار است؛ شناخت بیشتر شخصیتها از نظر درونی و بیرونی، احساسی و روانی. شناخت بیشتر جغدهای افسانهای، به طور کلی آشنایی بیشتر با یک زندگی منظم در عالمِ جغدهایی که بهگونهای برترند. جغدهایی که حتی خود را پرندگان برتر مینامند و سایر پرندگان را به باد مضحکه میگیرند. جغدهای گوناگون و جذابی که بسیار شاهانه میزیند و همه چیزشان جذاب است.
هرچند سفری از سر میگذرانند، این دسته چهارجغده، سفری را پشت سرمیگذارند تا به گاهول برسند، به جغدهای افسانهای. سفری که درکل اگر بنگریم، در کلیت کتاب، اگر رسیدن به مقصد هم یک سفر باشد، بخشی از سفری بزرگ، میتوان گفت همان سفر جوزف کمپبل است و با همان الگو سر و کار داریم.
اما بیش از همه با چالشهای پیش روی گروه چهارنفرهمان، «دسته» و در رأُس آنها، سورن، روبرو هستیم. سورن سردرگم است، از طرفی با گذشتهای دست و پنجه نرم میکند که بسیار تلخ است و پس از آن تجاربی که در سنتایگی به دست آورده است، از طرفی با آینده و آنچه روبروی اوست. در این جلد نویسنده مشخصاً ما را بیشتر با پرورش سورن مشغول میکند، تا درنهایت پسرجغد، انگیزه مییابد، میفهمد جغدی ورای آن چیزی است که خود میپندارد و ضربهی پایانی داستان، جایی است که خواهرِ سورن پیدا میشود، درست جایی که بحران اولیهی جلد سوم شکل میگیرد! بوفچههایی از ناکجا، همچون ماهزدهها اما بدتر از آنها، که از تایتو میخوانند و او را میستایند.
بار دیگر اطمینان مییابیم که این کتاب مانند جلد اول و احتمالاً جلدهای بعد، جزیی از یک کتاب خیلی قطور است، بخشی از یک کتاب تکجلدی خیلی خیلی بزرگ.
اما داستان راه درازی تا پایان دارد، چرا که این جلد، تنها آغازی بر کل ماجراست. شاید به جلد اول بتوان به طور کلیتر به عنوان بحران اولیهی ماجرای کلی نگاه کرد: اسارت؛ بحرانِ اولیهای که برای سورن رخ میدهد.
لحن نویسنده مانند جلد قبل جذاب است، طنز ظریف خود را دارد. داستان گاه بسیار عمیق است و گاه بسیار نوجوانانه. سرشار از موقعیتهای جذاب و خطرناک است. شخصیتها تا آستانهی مرگ میروند. اما نویسنده در ریتم لنگ میزند. گاهی داستان را بیش از اندازه کش میدهد و بیش از اندازه همه چیز را توضیح میدهد، گاهی چنان ناگهانی پرش میکند که آدم شک میکند بخشی از داستان جا افتاده است!
اگرچه در «سفر» اتفاقات زیادی رخ میدهد و در عین حال به نظر میآید اتفاقات بزرگی رخ نمیدهد اما مقدمهچینی و سرنخهای فراوانی از اضطرابی بزرگ میدهد که بدون شک در جلد بعد با آن روبرو خواهیم بود؛ به ویژه با اتفاقی که درست آخر جلد رخ داد.

It's a series/book staring owls, obviously I'm gonna enjoy it a lot. Well written and easy to get invested in but most importantly owls 🦉
July 17, 2017
Overall, this is a charming tale. I wanted to give this four stars but...just...couldn't. My major criticism is how Otulissa is shamed, teased and admonished for being intelligent and inquisitive. Outside of the "classroom," she's every bit the snob, but she's rarely called out on it, whereas the teachers (rybs) will tell her to shut up in front of the whole class, but Soren and co. whisper during lessons without being told to quiet down. Maybe it's because I grew up in a home where education was valued, where my grandmother (who lives with me and my parents) is a former teacher, where college was an expected duty, but I don't think intellect is a weak point to be embarrassed about. Shame on making mediocrity special. (I'm not actually saying those with less education are inferior, just that those enrolled in education should take it more seriously, since not everyone is so privileged with time/money for school.) I'm continuing the series, but I'm a bit disappointed.

The journey of Soren and his band of friends continues in The Journey. (kinda fitting, don't you think?) But things just never seem to be going as well for Soren as he would like. His family is still missing, he knows his brother tried to kill him, he knows he will never see his sister again, and he gets stuck with a creepy instructor. Yea...the great Hoole empire is not quite what Soren was hoping for. Excitement! Adventure! Rescues! That is what this place is all about, isn't it? All the stories talk about the daring rescues, the heroic battles, and the innocence protected - not once did they mention studying and annoying female brown-nosing owls! Soren and his friends must learn what it takes to be a real hero before they can ever try to be one.
This is a great continuation of the Ga'Hoole story. I know I am WAY too old to be reading these books, but after I saw the movie, I just HAD to read them. And, as in almost any situation, the book(s) prove far superior to the movie - even if I still love the movie! The detail and depth these books can provide can never been shown on screen, unless this was done in a VERY long series.
The personalities of our favorite owls are becoming more and more pronounced the further into this we go. The Others are still the creepy figure I think we have all come to recognize, and this "other threat that is worse than St. Aggies" is becoming more sinister. OOHHH boy! Things are heating up, and it's not just because of the forest fires! We get to meet more owls this time through; however, none of these are in the book long enough (besides the teachers and Madam Plonk) for us to really get to know them greatly. I'm sure in the next few books, I will love them as much as I adore Gylfie.
I really like how the author did not feel the need to rush these books. As a younger YA series, authors tend to try to hurry things up for fear the children will lose interest. Because she did not do this, these books can be enjoyed by anyone. They are very quick, light and easy reads for the adults (albeit very enjoyable reads), and I intend to continue to read them all until I finish the series. I am hooked - I admit it! I'm secure enough in myself to fully announce to the world, I am a Ga'Hoole-aholic....and I will get my fix until there is no more. Now, the journey must continue....

2 and a half rounded down.
There should have been a secret book between the first and this one that really encapsulated The Journey to the tree. The pacing felt off since the ending of the last book until the arrival at Ga'Hoole. Once the band was there things hit their stride.
I have to say this series is SO ENGLISH for it to be written by an American author. All of the alternative words for things we already have words for is sending me to the moon.
I loved the mirror lakes. Just a good trope.

*Did not finish--Rating based on what I did read* Couldn't get past the first four or five chapters. I was really turned off by one of the sections that was way too violent and gory for a children's book, IMO. (It involved owls killing a bobcat and was utterly horrible!) Furthermore, I despised the way the owls seemed to think certain creatures were "less than" others; perhaps this is rectified later in the book but many of the characters that seemed endearing in the first book started to get on my nerves and the plot just wasn't progressing quickly enough. My husband felt the same way so we moved on to better things. Sadly, I'm probably going to pass on the rest of this series that began with such promise.

Soren, Gylfie, Digger and Twilight have become much more than best friends. They are in search of the legendary Great Ga'Hoole Tree together with Mrs. Plithiver who was Soren's blind nest maid snake. They have to let other owls know the dangers of St. Aggies. They feel the need to take up the mantle of Noble Knighthood of Ga'Hoole to protect other owls from a fate that they managed to escape. This not just about the journey to the tree but also the journey of friendship and how they compliment each others stregths and compensate for thier weaknesses. This is a good quick summer read.

I'm loving this so much Yall have no idea. The new found details that I'm discovering as I go, I love the details that the movie has taken from these books and made them more kid friendly as this book has a darker feel to it. I adore Soren and the gang and I am beyond happy at seeing Mrs P playing a harp and Eglantine having her full flight feathers. It creates such a rich atmosphere and the imagination is beyond stunning.

I really love this series and want to continue reading it. This book is basically about four owls, Soren (Main Character), Gylifie, Twilight, and Digger try to find a tree called: "The Great Ga'Hoole Tree" only spoken of in legends. They eventually make it there after a lot of work and are put into groups that support the tree called: Chaws. Soren is put in a double chaw with a creepy owl who is leader of the weather chaw. Soren eventually gets used to the creepy owl but while Twilight and Digger are out on a "rescue mission" to find owlets fallen out of trees he finds Soren's little sister.

January 31, 2024
significantly more boring, I don't know if I'll continue reading this series
it really makes me think of how like in long children's book series some of the books are more to just kind of move the story along instead of being an actually good story but it's OK because you have like 15 books
like I really think their journey to the tree is boring. it picks up when they get there for sure, and it's some necessary world building that's more second nature to me because I know the world pretty well having read all the books, but it's there and whatever.
again, racism. pretty scary stuff lel

Suite intéressante qui continue à explorer le vaste monde du livre et qui commence la partie principale de la saga, centrée autour de Ga'Hoole.

May 5, 2017I really liked this book an this new series. I enjoyed reading at a different perspective of not a human but as an owl. This book had great detail and explained their events exceptionally. I am currently reading the next book in this series and am almost done with that. Overall, Great BOOK!!!
September 27, 2018
Most of 1st chapter is recapping the first book, so skim it if you are reading them back-to-back and don't need the review. Much slower than the first book and not much progress to the story.
The young owls reach the great Ga'Hoole tree and expect to be heralded as heroes or accepted as warriors and are unhappy to find that they are placed in normal training classes. Much of this book is about training and it isn't as captivating as the first book, but hopefully the action with pick back up in the next book.
Likes:
* Barn owl Soren's point of view
* Mrs. P the blind nest maid snake was a decent parental authority (imo usually the adults in children's books are either cruel or incompetent)
* Friendship
* Loyalty
* Gylfie the spunky elf owl, small but tough, but she also wasn't unrealistic about her abilities
* Cast of Characters listed at the end of the book, a great reference
* Owl information ~ flying, digestion, nesting habits, etc.
* Feel it in my gizzard
* Large gray owl, Twilight ~ tough and defensive, but strong and courageous

With-reservations:
bullying, violence, death, kidnapping
The young owls reach the great Ga'Hoole tree and expect to be heralded as heroes or accepted as warriors and are unhappy to find that they are placed in normal training classes. Much of this book is about training and it isn't as captivating as the first book, but hopefully the action with pick back up in the next book.

Not quite as enthralling as the first in the series, but that's because Lasky has a lot of set-up work to do, once her band of young owls arrives at Ga'hoole. In other words, this looks like a series where you really do have to read sequentially. Certainly this volume would be confusing without having read the first, and now that I am on number three, 'The Rescue,' I am seeing that pattern repeated. And as a young reader more tolerant of exposition pointed out to me, there are quite a few important events in 'The Journey'--Soren's reunion with his sister, the assigning of the owls to 'chaws,' and the disappearance of Ezylryb. I'm going to keep reading.

Really good writing. Really good style. Really good plot. Really good humor. Really good.
But why am i rating it three stars if i thinks it's so good?
You have asked a very good question.
And at the moment, in order to fulfill your question of interest with the most true, sensible, simple, utter way possible would be to simply and cordially state, quite truly:
I AM SO DEAD SICK OF OWLS.

When the band of owls finally arrived at the Great Ga'Hool tree I was very excited to continue reading. The plot was even more interesting that the first book. I liked how each of the Ryb's (teachers) where all very unique. Every single chaw was very interesting. the end of the book came as a big surprise and makes me excited to read the third.

5 stars for any book that can keep my age 10-12 grandchildren reading and texting me several times a day. This was our fifth book of the summer and second of this series which is hands down their favorite. My husband is even reading with us between surgery cases.

Kau akan terbang sampai ke Hoolemere.
Kau telah bertahan dari serangan burung gagak.
Kau telah terbang melintasi gurun. ....
Kau akan terbang menembus angin, menembus cahaya...
kau akan tetap terbang. Kau takkan gagal.
Kau pasti bisa menyelesaikan perjalanan ini.
Tujuan utama keempat sahabat Soren, Gylfie, Twilight dan Digger sudah jelas, mencari Pohon Ga'Hoole Agung Semuanya demi menciptakan keamanan dan ketentraman di dunia burung hantu. Ditemani oleh Mrs Plithiver, ular tua pelayan-sarang keluarga Saron, mereka menempuh perjalanan yang penuh dengan bahaya.
Konon khabarnya Pohon Ga'Hoole Agung tidak bisa dilihat, karena tumbuh di suatu pulau di tengah Laut Hoolemere yang nyaris seluas samudra. Pohon itu selalu diselimuti kabut dan pulaunya selalu dilanda badai salju. Hanya mereka yang percaya yang bisa menemukannya. Apakah mereka berempat percaya?
Keempat sahabat itu sempat mengalami kesukaran saat melewati Danau Cermin. Kondisi lingkungannya tidak terlalu baik bagi keempat sahabat itu Semuanya terasa mudah dan indah. Disaat tempat lain sudah berada di awal musim dingin, Danau Cermin tetap berada dalam kondisi musim panas. Dedaunan masih segar, rumpur masih subur, tanah juga masih hangat. Tempat itu bisa lebih berbahaya dari St Aggie! Namun sekali lagi Mrs Plithiver dengan kebijaksanaannya mampu membimbing Soren, Gylfie, Twilight dan Digger mengatasi masalah yang ada.
Lolos dari Danau Cermin, mereka masih harus menghadapi bahaya yang lain. Saat terbang sayap mereka mulai membeku, belum lagi tujuan mereka yang melenceng jauh. Lalu ada...........Waduh sebaiknya saya berhenti disini saja, sebelum spoiler. Maklum, ceritanya kian mendebarkan, banyak kejadian yang tak terduga, seperti....... Aduh saya mulai lagi!
Begini sajalah, sekedar bocoran, buku ini terbagi dalam 25 bab, yaitu :
1. Kepungan Burung gagak
2. Ditemani Burung Hantu Hitam
3. Twilight Pamer
4. Keluar! Keluar!
5. Danau Cermin
6. Celah Es
7. Sisi Lain Yonder
8. Malam Pertama ke Hari Pertama
9. Parlemen Burung hantu
10. Kebimbangan Twilight
11. Cakar Emas
12. Hukla, Hukla dan Harapan
13. Burung Yonder
14. Terbang Malam
15. Mengunjungi Bubo
16. Suara Dari Dalam Akar
17. Chaw Cuaca
18. Pilihan Mrs Plithiver
19. Mengunjungi Madame Plonk
20. Kebakaran!
21. ”Bara Dalam Paruhku”
22. Anak Burung Hantu
23. Akhirnya!
24. Mag Si Pedagang
25. Dalam Selimut Malam
Bisa kebayangkan bagaimana serunya buku ini. Oh, ya Yonder adalah sebutan ular buta untuk menjelaskan langit karena letaknya yang sangat jauh. Sedangkan Ryb ... duh mulai lagi deh saya spoiler. Cerita dalam buku ini terlalu seru untuk tidak dibagikan....!
Secara keseluruhan, buku ini tetap semenarik buku pertamanya. Kisahnya kian membuat penasaran. Banyak ide-ide segar penulis yang dikembangkan menjadi sebuah cerita mendidik namun disuguhkan dengan cara yang menarik . Misalnya bagaimana mereka berempat belajar untuk selalu kompak dan bekerjasa sama, mereka diharapkan tetap rendah hati walau telah berhasil mengalahkan berbagai bahaya, mereka harus tetap tekun belajar jika ingin sukses. Adegan menghibur juga bisa kita temui. Saya ikut tertawa membayangkan mereka juga memiliki kepala asrama yang disegani, seakan manusia yah
Pada buku pertama, saya sempat merasa heran. Menurut cerita burung hantu makan ular. Lalu bagaimana bisa pelayanan-sarang keluarga Sharon adalah sekor ular? Bukannya sama saja menawarkan drii untuk dimakan? Ternyata dalam buku ini dijelaskan, bahwa memang burung hantu memakan ular, namun bukan ular yang buta. Karena ular buta adalah pelayan-sarang keluarga. Untuk sementara bisa menahan rasa penasaran saya.
Kadang dalam membaca sebuah cerita bersambung, kita sering lupa siapa saja tokoh yang ada. Selain tokoh utama, tentunya ada tokoh-tokoh lain. Jangan khawatir, mulai dari halaman 298 -301 kita akan menemui catatan mengenai tokoh-tokoh yang ada dalam cerita. Lumayan untuk menyegarkan ingatan sehingga lebih bisa menikmati cerita.
Namun untuk saat saya melihat pembatas buku yang diselipkan, entah kenapa saya lebih menyukai gambar yang ada dibandingkan gambar yang dipergunakan untuk cover. Padahal hanya ada perbedaan kecil saja. Namun ternyata, sebuah perbedaan kecil memberikan efek yang tidak sedikit
Selain cerita yang menarik , ada beberapa hal yang membuat saya merekomendasikan buku ini. Pertama pemilihan font serta kerapatan huruf . Keduanya terasa nyaman di mata, sehingga mata tidak merasa lelah saat menyelesaikan buku ini .Lalu soal harga. Belakangan ini harga sebuah buku sering menjadi bahan pertimbangan utama dalam membeli. Alih-alih membeli, sering kali seseorang malah meminjam, padahal buku itu layak koleksi. Penerbit Kubika berani melakukan terobosan guna memanjakan pembacanya.
Sejak melihat wajah mereka, saya langsung jatuh cinta. Kian pingin tahu seputar ” kehidupan” Soren, Gylfie, Twilight dan Digger, yanga katanya ada 150 jenis di seluruh dunia. Hebat.................!
Iseng-iseng ngintip ke Mbah google menemukan http://nurcha.wordpress.com/2007/12/1... yang menyebutkan mengenai fakta-fakta khusus seputar burung hantu, misalnya:
* Burung hantu kawin sekali seumur hidup.
* Burung hantu ditemukan di semua benua kecuali di Antarctica.
* Burung hantu betina lebih berat dan lebih besar dibanding dengan
jantan dari jenis mereka.
* Mata burung hantu tidak bergerak, meskipun demikian mereka
memiliki penglihatan binokuler seperti manusia. Dan burung hantu
tidak dapat berkedip, untuk melihat mangsanya mereka tidak
melirik seperti manusia melainkan menggerakkan kepalanya untuk
mengawasi pergerakan mangsanya
* Burung hantu mempunyai tiga kelopak mata: Satu untuk
mengejapkan, satu untuk tidur, dan satu untuk membersihkan mata.
* Wajah mereka pipih seperti cakram dan berbulu, bentuk wajah yang
seperti ini memungkinkan mereka untuk mengumpulkan dan
memfokuskan gelombang bunyi sehingga membantu burung hantu untuk
mendengar, bahkan untuk suara yang paling lirih sekalipun.
* Beberapa burung hantu mempunyai satu telinga yang lebih tinggi
dibanding lainnya, sehingga membuat mereka mampu mendengar lebih
baik, sehingga membantu menunjukkan dengan tepat di mana mangsa
mereka.
* Bulu burung hantu dirancang untuk meredam bunyi selama
penerbangan dan memungkinkan membuat mangsa mereka tidak
kemana-mana alias tidak dapat kabur
* Dalam dongeng di yunani kuno, burung hantu dipercaya sebagai
symbol kebijaksanaan. Mata merekalah yang membuat mereka
terlihat bijaksana.

I think that this book hooked me a bit more than the first one did. Life at the dystopian St. Aggie's was interesting, but life at the Great Ga'Hoole tree seemed richer in a sense that I'm not sure I can explain.
My biggest complaint about this book was that sometimes it felt like the author told too much rather than showing it. There are two big examples I can think of. One was the main character owls forming a band. This bond is significant and likely to continue throughout the rest of the series, but it felt a little forced upon us with the way she told us it fell into place, especially when Digger was still fairly new to the group. I think it would have been more meaningful of we could have watched the bond form naturally without it feeling so heavy-handed.
Similarly, the introduction to the Mirror Lakes was all exposition. The hypnotic effects of this place posed a huge threat to the first half of this story, but I as a reader never felt them personally because they were described to me in such a detached manner. Additionally, I felt like more should have been done with this concept. It hovers like a half-threat as the owls consider going back there instead of to Ga'Hoole, but they don't, and then it's sort of forgotten. Since they kept thinking about it after they left, I wanted it to be more significant, either truly separating the band for a while or coming up later on in the story, and I was disappointed that it never did, though I acknowledge that it might in future books.

„Легенда за Пазителите: Совите от Га`хуул” (изд. „Пергамент прес”) на Катрин Ласки е очарователна поредица за деца и младежи, чиито пернати герои бързо се превърнаха в мои любимци. Легендарно тайно общество от сови-рицари, шепа отдадени млади герои, твърдо решени да защитават мира, справедливостта и свободата с цената на всичко... Епичен сблъсък между добро и зло, в който грабливите нощни птици ще ви убедят, че съвсем не е нужно да яздиш кон и да размахваш меч, за да бъдеш главен герой във фентъзи роман. Поредицата „Легенда за Пазителите” е далечен наследник на приказките за животни и достоен съперник на множество от съвременните детско-юношески фентъзи саги. Прочетете ревюто на "Книжни Криле":
