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.

I was looking forward to reading this because it's a pretty well known series and even though the movie wasn't a big hit I really loved the movie. But the book was a lot different than the movie. It is really slow, it draws things out way too long before continuing the plot. And I really didn't like the way the dialogue was written

Shockingly dark for a middle-grade fantasy. It's well writen, has compelling characters, and the plot moves very quickly.
I probably won't be listening to more of the series because I realize now it's 16 books long and all about war.
The first book alone deals with kidnapping, slavery, brainwashing, and cannibalism. I don't know if I have the heart to hear about more owls dying.
