However, as an adult, I see the flaws more. The titular “Guardians of GaHoole” are mention just shortly at the beginning, but then later become this huge thing out of nowhere. There were a few elements that were also just introduced just for a quick moment and then forgotten about.
Also there are some… strange implications in this book? Nothing that was outright offensive, but just weird.
I could see this being a miss for a lot of people. It’s a very strange book and I don’t know many people that like owls enough to really get immersed in the owl world. However, it’s not a bad book! I’m sure anyone that’s into the warrior cat series or other “talking animal” fantasy type books would like this.

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.

GOSH I loved this series as a kid!! Amazing children’s literature, with complex yet easily understood morals, lovable characters, and a nice plot. Descriptions of day being sleepy and night being invigorating may leave you wanting to become an owl yourself. Highly recommend!
