I loved Ga'hoole when I was younger so I'm having so much fun reading the series now! I had read this one before so I was fairly familiar but I must say I did not recall the cannibalism. ANYWAY so excited to read the rest of the series. The world is just so so cool, owls are one of my favourite animals so it is heaps of fun to read a fantasy world revolving around them.

Submit. Believe. Cruelty.
Damn. I did not expect this to be a journey and testament to thehuman owl spirit. Pretty good! The things Soren and his friends go though are pretty harsh, jeez, considering how this book is aimed at 9-12 year olds. A little slow though. I don’t know if I want to read the next book because poor Soren has been through enough already.

I see why this is a popular book. I wish I had read it when I was the target age demographic. I also wish I was more interested in owls, as I think I would've enjoyed it more, even as an adult, if I knew some owl facts/knew what different owl species looked like. But alas, I am a cat person. So that combined with the rapid pace of a juvenile book means it's just not for me at this point.

All the characters are owls, but like all types of abuse happen in here (I just feel odd putting child abuse for owlets, idk). Also, there is a big cult-like/prison/enslavement situation that I'm not sure how to tag, and brainwashing.chaoticreadingclub's review

Dafür, dass es eigentlich ein Kinderbuch ist, beschäftigt es sich mit ziemlich brutalen Themen. Entführung, Tod und Manipulation stehen hier im Vordergrund und es hat mich wirklich überrascht, dass auf diese Themen teilweise nicht näher eingegangen wurde, wodurch vieles an Potenzial verloren ging. Es ist trotzdem spannend gestaltet worden und beinhaltet eine gute Storyline.
