5.0 out of 5 stars
They just keep getting better,
By Madisen (Fruita, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Siege (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 4) (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Siege (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 4) (Paperback)
I really like this series. The author gives these owls such great personalities and makes you really care.In this book, Ezlyryb is back and Kludd is mad. Soren and the "Clan of Clans" must go to the dreaded place of St. Aggies to find out weather St. Aggies and the Pure ones have joined forces. Also, The pure ones plan a major attact on the Great Tree. Characters are developed more. Otulissa is becoming a lot more llikable, we see Twilight become a little more than war, and of course Soren (the main character) is developed more. My only problem is Eglantine, Soren's sister, is almost non-existant. Yet another good book in this great series. I cant wait for the next one.

Soren lover Dewlap hater,
By Melissa Melrose "Child Bibliophile" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Siege (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 4) (Paperback)
The Siege is the best book in the series! There's two adventures in one, with Soren and the rest of the Chaw of Chaws at St Aggies and the battles in the end of the book. I would not recommend reading this book without reading the rest of the series.
