I'm unsure what to think about Lucy. It was cute and interesting, if a little scattered. For an extremely fast novel Lasky tried to bring in the stories of four women aside from the titular main character, Lucy. Lasky head hopped a lot to get the story out and everything came so easily that there wa...
When it comes to the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, I can't say I'm a fan. Kathryn Lasky and I are just on two totally different pages, so to speak. She's trying to write anthropomorphic fantasy with an anti-racism moral, and it's all coming across as racist and lazy to me--as I've mentioned in previ...
May is a sweet book with very thin plot. There's not a lot going on for it, although it is significantly more then the first book in the series. The thing that drove me the most crazy is that instead of the characters earning their insights, May would just magically know something that she needed to...
There's not much to say about The Coming of Hoole. It continues the legends that started unraveling in The First Collier, but it shifts the focus from Grank to Hoole. I like the inclusion of the polar bears (at this point, I like the inclusion of any non-owl creatures that get treated with basic res...
Say goodbye to Soren, the Guardians, the Band, the Chaw of Chaw, the wolves of the Beyond, Coryn, and even the Pure Ones. Because for some reason or other, we're blasting thousands of years into the past to deal with mythology that was never mentioned in the series until The Hatchling (but mostly Th...
The Outcast is the continuation of Nyroc's change-of-heart story. He's betrayed his mother and the Pure Ones and reinvented himself as Coryn. But he's also come to realize that there's no place for him in the owl kingdom, so he sets out for the volcano wasteland called the Beyond the Beyond. I will ...
As of The Hatchling, the Ga'Hoole story shifts focus. Soren and his friends step down from their main character positions for the next two books, and Soren's nephew Nyroc takes over.Nyroc is the second egg of Kludd and Nyra (the other broke before hatching), born during an eclipse and so destined to...
With The Burning comes the end of the series' focus on Soren, the Band, and the Chaw of Chaws. (At least so far as I've read at this time of writing, which is up to To Be a King. The focus changes again after that, but from where we seem to be going, it looks like it's going to be Coryn's story from...
This series is so strange to me. As I said in my previous reviews, I'm really bothered by all the discrimination on the part of the protagonists and the plot's inherent hypocrisy. On the other hand, there are nuggets of awesome tucked in here and there.For example, I felt the sudden creation of the ...
The Rescue is more of the same--some more secrets are revealed, the plot slowly progresses, and jarringly enough, the prejudice fail gets worse.Mrs. Plithiver was a terribly offensive and tragic character in the first two books. In the Ga'Hoole world, blind snakes are kidnapped and enslaved by their...
