I love this book series, and highly recommend to kids. The first three in the series I particularly enjoyed. But I read them all as I loved the premise.
To Be a King is the 11 book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole seires and the last in the three parter Leginds of Ga'Hoole written by Kathryn Lasky.In this final instalment of the 'Leagens of Ga'Hoole' 3 part seires and tells the story of how Hoole trys to undeerstand the ember and to rid the world of the Hagsfiend and thier Half-Hags. unlike other books before it where theres yousualy one or two main characters and another one where the story focuses on for a chapter or two. But in this book we get three main charactors that are focust on for almost the same amount of chapters. They are Hoole (obviusly), Theo and a new comer called Kreeth who is a shape shifting Hagsfiend. The only bad thing about having three storys running parallel to one another and intersecting in several plasses the story overal seems a bit shorter and you have to read another three chapters before you can learn what hapes to hoole next. But apart from the very small almost minascusl bad things about this book the overall plot and story where great and I'm just sad that Hoole can't be a recuring character and will now only be mentioned in the 4 remaining books in the seires. I can't tell you what i realy enjoud about this book because they are spoiler. But I can tell you this the one that tells this story is not revieled. Like the previus two books it is optional to read this book but I would really recomend this book.
This book was really fun to read to me. It was also an awesome adventure through N'yrthghar and S'yrthghar. What I saw as the theme of book was learn others ways to become more with them. I think the author is trying to teach us that you may look different then each other, but that doesn't mean that you can't think the same. An example of where I saw that in the book was when Hoole was withe the wolves. This is an example because he felt almost as if he was more wolf than owl. Also he was thinking more like a wolf so he bonded with them better. This is a book I would recommend for those who love adventure and action.
I want to be fair about this book but I think I should go back and start at the beginning of this series to be able to follow along better. I did enjoy the story but I think knowing more about each character and why war was waged against chaos. I was entertained by the owls as characters I was sort of surprised that I enjoyed this more than I thought going into it.
I plan to go back to the start of this series and read the whole series to get the whole story so I can be better at giving this a more fuller review with a better understanding on how Hoole got to the point too wage the war when he regained his thrown. I also liked that the owls worked with the wolves it was interesting to me.
She was sick; sick of being half: half crow, half owl, both hagsfiend and Spotted Owl. She was, she realized, nothing. She was nothing and yet she loved.
I think this was a great way to end the prequels for the gaurdians. Now Coryn must follow on his destiny, given the past knowledge he is able to better prepare for the future. What will happen next?
