A review by bookbriefs
Owlet by Emma Michaels

4.0

Owlet was a refreshing read. It wasn't about the same ole, same ole. No vampires, no werewolves or even shifters. The birds in Owlet are more parts of the soul, which I thought was a cool take on the idea. Plus no love triangle! I couldn't help but feel bad for Iris though. She was kept in the dark for so long and because of that Owlet has many more questions than answers for a while. Iris was in the dark about her own memories as well as her heritage. And she has to deal with so much, poor Iris.

I hope that Iris stays her sweet and good self. She is going through a lot of changes, but I am confident that Falcon will keep her on track. Falcon, by the way is such a cool guy. I can't wait to find out more about him and Iris' past because we only got glimpses of it in this book.

There is a lot of information to intake in Owlet. I felt like the information could have been spread out a little more. Even though I would have liked a bit of a slower pace, I understood why everything was happening very quickly. There was a sense of urgency throughout the whole story. Iris was kept in the dark about so many things for so long, so it made sense to me that she would be trying to find out as much as she could all at once. One thing I was kind of confused about was the memory loss that she experienced. I wish it was explained a little better, I kind of feel like I missed the explanation of it all in the book.

Owlet was a very quick read. It intrigued me and got me interested in following the rest of the series. I saw it as a set up for the feather society series really. It laid all the background and kind of prepped Iris for what I am sure is going to be a really cool adventure for her. It left some things unanswered that couldn't really fit into this book. I'm glad we didn't get to meet all of the players yet, and I am pretty excited to see what Emma Michaels is going to do with the next book.
