Overview / 简介: |
A war breaks out in the owl kingdom when an evil group tries to take control of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. Soren and the other Ga'Hoolian owls must fight to protect their tree and restore peace.
Soren's beloved mentor, Ezylryb, is finally back at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. But all is not well. There's a war between good and evil in the owl kingdom. On one side is a group led by Soren's fearsome brother, Kludd, who wears a terrifying metal mask to cover his battle-scarred face. On the other side are the owls of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, who must fight to protect their legendary tree from Kludd's attacks.
Soren, his friends, and the other owls at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree enter into fierce combat against Kludd's forces. They win a major battle, but warfare will continue in Book #5. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kathryn Lasky captivates us with the gripping and terrifying events that fill the lives of these extraordinary owls. . . Spiced with a sprinkling of mythology, mysticism and wonderful characterizations, The Siege is an excellent continuation of a unique series. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I don't know how the author does it, but these books just keep getting better. In the first half of the story, Soren and his six friends are sent on a top-secret mission back to St. Aggie's. While they are there, the book gets a bit confusing (St. Aggie's is a confusing place, after all), but after a thrilling action scene and a subsequent surprise reunion with an old friend (I'm not telling who, so give it up), you'll be riveted. By the end, the owls have been through a war, exposed a possible spy, and lost someone close to them (but once again, I won't spoil it for you). Although warfare between the good and evil owls is a major theme here, don't worry about reading chapter after chapter of battle scenes. Rather than simple fighting, the war is waged mostly through strategy, so it's fun and intriguing to read, not repetitive. I also really liked how the author switched to the vantage point of Kludd, aka Metal Beak, at a few intervals. It was interesting to learn more about what made him the way he is.
If I have one complaint (I say "if" because it's really more of a comment), it's that Ezylryb's Winston Churchill-inspired "speeches", while moving, seem to be of a different tone than the rest of the book. They're a cool addition overall, they just don't fit quite right.
Overall, this book completely riveted me, just like the previous three. If you liked those, buy this immediately. If you haven't read those yet, buy them and then buy this. |
