Excellent book, it tells of the beginning of the Great Ga'Hoole tree. For a children's series it has kept us engaged.

A sad beginning to King Hoole.

This book is my favorite of the legends so far. I love all of the wolves, my favorites are Fengo and Namara. I read the wolves of the Beyond first, and I'll say that Dunleavy MacHeath is like Heep.
Onto, To Be A King!

LOVED it!

It good. Me like it.

*3.5/5 stars

I think both Hoole's and Coryn's stories suffer from being so close to each other in the series - Hoole's is, of course, far more detailed than Coryn's, I think, but the problem is that Coryn's story felt so short because if it were longer all this information would be repeated again in these books

I think I like the *idea* of hagsfiends, but I think they get misused later on in the series so I can't enjoy them now if that makes sense?

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: The Coming of Hoole (Guardians of Ga'Hoole Book 10) Summary: THE LEGENDS... A tale of chaos, betrayal and nachtmagen unfolds in the second of three ancient legends. It is no idle history, for hidden in its pages are truths about the great promise - and great danger - that lie just ahead for the Guardians. And so Soren, Coryn, and the members of the Band read on: A grizzled collier will tend a young prince in exile. An owl who would be a monk will don battle claws. A mother who is also a queen will raise an army. And under the shower of embers in the shadow of the Sacred Volcanoes, a king will be born - or die.

Rating: 3 stars

Opening Line: "Octavia, the pudgy, elderly, blind nest-maid snake, slithered out onto the branch outsider her old master's hollow."

Quote: "Just remember, friends don't make the animal. Animals make friends."

Book 10 of this great series completed. Wow,it just gets better and better. I know, I keep saying this. I mean it though. I will be last when I go through these last few books. Wow! give these a read!

why does everyone just die?
like Siv,
elythe... elythr... eloo... the old owl with a stupid name,
and Borron and Barran

there's no sound affects of them coughing or gagging, they don't cry, and after they die, they don't twitch or anything.

the owls just die without drama.

how is this possible?

Man, these books get more and more pretentious and ridiculous the further along I get in the series.

Reading along with my tutee, though I think he finished it a long while back.
