Be careful what you start, you may have to buy 45 books.

Still reading and texting daily with my oldest two grandchildren who are absolutely loving this series.
I should have just bought the entire series of 15 X 3 at the outset. Who knew we would have so much fun.

This book was the best book in the series so far. It actually made me get a little teary-eyed in some parts. Although i missed hearing about Soren and The Band, i loved reading about Coryn and his story. Sadly, this is the last book in series available to me, so i guess if i want to read more, i'm going to have to go buy the rest of the books. Thank goodness Christmas is coming!

This book is one of the best in this amazing series! You see how Coryn is such a loving and noble character. Kathryn Lasky does an amazing job showing how Coryn finds his great destiny. And adding some special characters that allow more oprotunites for the next book. Anyone who reads this will surely be blown away as the destiny of one owl collides with that of another.

I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH! This one was probably my favorite one out of all the other ones, but I haven't finished the series yet so I'm not sure. I liked this one because Nyroc finds his true self and I think this is the one where he obtained the ember (I forgot). Another reason is that this is where Nyroc changed his name to Coryn which I thought that he made a big mistake but then I grew a liking to it.

Actual rating: 4 1/2 stars.
Best one yet! I really like Coryn as a character. I know that's kind of weird because he's an owl an all, but really, I've very much enjoyed reading his story and I'm excited to see what'll happen next to him.

This is an awesome book that is full of adventure and excellent writing. I have read all the books up to this one and all of them are great! The books by Kathryn Lasky are great for young readers that like fantasy and animals. Not many of my friends have read these but I think they are an undiscovered brilliance of writing. I truly suggest this book to most children under 15 years old.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Definitely one of the best of the series!
Poor Coryn has had such a rough time of it and things are finally starting to turn around for him, no thanks to his worthless mother, Nyra. She has some nerve!
Yay for Gyllbane and Hamish! Awesome new characters in series and I hope we hear from them again!
I hope that Soren, Eglantine and Coryn all get the family that they've been wanting. I know that Soren is about to become a dad, but I think Soren would do well with a large family. :) The more the merrier lol.
I was surprised at Otulissa's involvement, but I guess it makes sense since she is such a brainyack. I want to read about the Band again along with Coryn. I wonder if we'll meet his Burrowing Owl friends in a future book?

Absolute gold. Introduction of the Wolves of the Beyond. Continuation of Nyroc's story. Artistic unity. A more extensive review will replace this soon.

This was the beginning of my obsession with the whole “true king” trope. I’m actually looking forward to the next trilogy of Ga’hoole prequels at this point. Hoot hoot! 7 more books to go!

4.5✨

I'm a Coryn stan at this point. I feel like this arc of the series has definitely grown in comparison to Soren's; it's more mature, flows better, and doesn't bore me as quickly or easily as those before it.

This is a fun series. Instead of people, the characters are owls which helps the reader begin to understand the wide variety of the species. Of course, the characters take on human characteristics but as one young member of our family says to her mother, "It's not real Mom so don't worry it will all work out." This young lady loves books, especially fantasy, pretend and magic. It's so enjoyable searching for books that she will enjoy. Books, for her, truly, are adventures. I agree and love reading those she might enjoy too. Often I wish I were as young as this nine-year-old family member.

Interesting new characters and a great way to transition the story line without dragging it on.
