Personal Response
I think this was a good book. I liked this book and thought it was very interesting. I am going to read this whole series because I think they are good books. I will read all the books and find out what happens at the end of the series. I think there will be a big secret at the end of the last book in the series.


Plot
In this book the owls have to face several challenges. Soren, the main owl, has to face Saint Aggies Academy. Soren also has to face the crows that try to mob him and the other owls. All three owls have to face the bobcat that tried to kill them. All the owls had to overcome the nasty weather as well. The owls have to find Ezylerb and rescue him. They also have to face several enemies on their way to rescue Ezylerb.

Recomendation
I would recommend this book to 3rd or 4th graders because this book is their grade level. I would not recommend this book to high schoolers because this book is not their reading level. This book would be good for 3rd or 4th graders because it is full of action. This book would not be good for high schoolers because it is too simple of a book. This is a good book because it is like a mystery kind of book.

So much happens in this book that will leave you wanting to know what happens next at the end of each chapter. That's all I can say without spoiling anything.

The Siege is the fourth book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series and it follows two brothers, Kludd and Soren as they fight on different sides for different reasons. Kludd wants power and purity among the owls. He wants to rule. Soren wants peace and unity. He wants to live and enjoy life. He wants to learn and be free.

Possible spoilers: In this book, Kludd conspires to lay siege to the great Ga'Hoole tree, trapping the owls and starting a war with the guardians.

I liked that our Chaw of Chaws became united once more and never fails to inspire readers with their friendships, loyalty and thirst for knowledge.

Lots of adventure and heroic deeds.

owls and the horrors of war. gnarly

*3.75/5 stars

My favorite part was when the owls dug a secret tunnel out of hte GaHoole tree and escaped the trap of the Pure Ones. I was not the lest bit surprised that Dewlap was the traitor. I was expecting a traitor out of the GaHoole owls and Dewlap seemed like someone who might have been the traitor. My least fasvorite part was when Strix Struma died and Otulissa blamed Dewlap because Dewlap was a traitor. I was super surprised when Mist and Hortense(the one from St. Aegolius in the first book) were the same, because Hortense was thought to be dead in thefirst book, but apparently she doesn't.

Endlich kommt St. Aggie wieder ins Spiel. Dadurch wurde es spannend!

Following the war preparations and the infiltration into St. Aggies again was my favorite part of this book.

Listened to this one on audio. The reader was pretty good. For all of them: I don't like: the taking of "Glaux's" name in vain all the time, or the "bad language" the Owls use; the intensity of some of the evil displayed; the scrooms or other such ghostly or dark magic talk. Outside of that, the writer is very good, believable, exciting, and I loved the allusions to Winston Churchill and the Battle of Britain in this book.

Out of the previous book this is lower on my list. While we do get some insight into what the pure ones are planning and a dive and battle to conclude it. This book doesn’t stand out (save for the siege and battle at the end) there is some character development on Autolissas part (I’m listening on audio so I probably spelled it wrong)
The final thing I have for the end of this review is how much I hate Egglintine she’s a whiny brat part of me wishes she wasn’t in the book at all. She has done nothing to help the series and all her contributions are her getting in trouble or doing something stupid or what have you. All in all I’m really enjoying this series.

Excellent fourth installment of the Ga'Hoolian series. Lots of action and intrigue going on in and out of the tree. Soren and his friends and fellow Guardians are trapped within the tree by Kludd and Pure Ones. They must find a way a way to go on the offensive and they do, but at great cost!
Can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
