The Sign of the Owl
I loved this book. The flowing writing style makes it a fast and easy read. While the foreshadowing makes some of the plot predictable, the characters more than make up for it. Wint and Jerilyn started off arrogant but I grew to love them. Frederick and Claude are characters you will love to hate. Here's a basic outline of the plot: Wint is drawn into his family's...

The Sign Of The Owl
This book had its good parts and its bad, like most. The language was fluid, descriptive and enticing. It was easy to imagine the scenes as they occurred--I could feel myself holding my stomach tensely as the more dramatic events unraveled.

The Sign of the Owl,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sign of the Owl (School & Library Binding)
I loved this book. The flowing writing style makes it a fast and easy read. While the foreshadowing makes some of the plot predictable, the characters more than make up for it. Wint and Jerilyn started off arrogant but I grew to love them. Frederick and Claude are characters you will love to hate. Here's a basic outline of the plot: Wint is drawn into his family's intrigues by his father, the duke. He has to keep the family sword Scamoral from his uncle, Lord Claude, after Claude captures the duke's castle. Wint overcomes various obstacles and meets new friends while on the run. Before the fall of his home, Wint found himself caught between childhood and adulthood, now he must quickly grow more mature to survive. This book had a pleasant ending that didn't leave me hanging. I enjoyed reading it.

The Sign Of The Owl,
By Trinity Diodore (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The sign of the owl (Hardcover)
This book had its good parts and its bad, like most. The language was fluid, descriptive and enticing. It was easy to imagine the scenes as they occurred--I could feel myself holding my stomach tensely as the more dramatic events unraveled. The book was created for young adults, however, there are some rather violent scenes that could disturb young readers. I would say ages 15+ would be a rational age preference. Overall, a good book filled with swords, adventure and family pride.
