3.5 stars

*smacks forehead* Of course the series continues with the hatchling. I don't know how i didn't see that after finishing the last book.

This cover cracks me up every time I see it. Nyra looks so disgusted by her own egg. I don't know whether that was intentional or not, but it's hilarious.

This book invokes curiosity, but it's simply not engaging for me. I don't feel any particular excitement about what's to come. I wonder a bit about the dire wolves, but I wouldn't die if I didn't read the next book. It was also vaguely confusing in places.

I LOVED this. Following the hatchling was absolutely the best time. Seeing Nyrah up close was definitely a pleasant surprise and seeing Nyroc defy his mother as he grows into his gizzard and starts to learn right from wrong is beautiful. I cried so much during this book, I didn't know that middle grade books could be so hurtful.

I really don't want this series to end and i really wish they continued the movies.

This is the seventh book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, which I'm reading aloud to my younger daughter.

This one is a bit different from the others in the rest of the series, because the focus is all on Nyroc and Nyra's plans for him. Until now, the major characters in the series have been Soren and his sidekicks who form the Chaw of Chaws. They are pretty much absent in this one, but we learn more about the Pure Ones and this one is a bit darker as a result. Part of the story was very sad, but I understand why it had to happen because it had a tremendous impact on Nyroc.

For the last couple of books, I keep saying that this one is my new favourite. For me, the books have been getting better and better. Lasky took this one to the next level for me, which results in the higher rating.

We are continuing on with the eighth book in the series, The Outcast.

Very good... NYRA, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A MOTHER! SPRINKITY SPRINK SPRINK ON YOU!!!!!!!

When I originally realized this book followed Nyra's hatchling I was expecting it to not be great. However, I ended up enjoying the look into the Pure Ones and the independence of Nyroc quite a bit.

Ich war erst ein wenig überrascht als ich gemerkt habe, dass das Buch Nyrocs Sicht zeigt, doch ich fand den Perspektivenwechsel sehr erfrischend.

I love how Kathryn made Nyroc being the son of two of the most evil owls in the series, Nyra and Kludd, become one of the best owls in the series.

Its a 2.5, my owly friends, and the .5 is all about the main protaganowl. It’s kind of wild how much more interesting a character Nyroc is vs Soren?? Like maybe when you don’t have approx 1 million characters running around you can get around to fleshing out the one you want us to care about? Oh Kathryn. Please let all of your Ga’Hoole books be like this one. Somehow, 8 more to go! (Hoot hoot!)

The hatchling, Nyroc, grows up. He has a special gift of flame reading, and he is perfect at nearly everything. Find out what he isn't perfect at and what his enchantment of power is. This is an overpowering book that almost tells you what is going to happen next, but then it jumps to something completely unexpected and changes your idea entirely. Plus, Otulissa, the new Ga'Hoolology ryb, goes beyond her own rational thoughts and does something because of a dream. (Yes, a dream! Can you believe it? Otulissa dreamed!)

Overall Rating : B+

POOR DUSTYTUFT WHY? WHY? WHY?
