The war of the ember is a fantasy written by Kathryn Lasky. It is the fivetenth book of the guardians of ga'hoole series. This book was a real page turner because I didn't know what was going to happen next. It also kept meon the edge of my seat. I thought this book was very interesting becaus...
Ce que j'apprecie beaucoup dans cette série, c'est que les héroines prennent leur vie en main, elles sont curieuses, savent lire, compter, et ce malgré des circonstances pas forcement evidentes (Hannah est orpheline, May a une mère qui tente de boycotter son accés à une éducation classique). Alor...

Spoilers!Another WotB book that's very boring and dull. I remember even less of this one as of the prev...
The beginning mistake was pathetic. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars, but that first little bit is pathetic, absolutely stupid. Especially compared to how smart he was in the first book, that just made no sense. However, aside from that, it's a pretty good book and is definitely worth your ti...
I love the way she made it seem as if it where all true Love the series. Currently reading the last book if the series, Star wolf.
This was an okay but not brilliant revisiting of the Robin Hood/Maid Marian legend. It was a little unfocused, as I wasn't sure from time to time whether it was a book on falconry, gender inequity in old England, or tyranny. It was a quick read (completed in a 12 hour period that included 7 hours...
If I find a book tedious, sometimes listening to it makes it more interesting but not so with this one. The kids and I were listening to it on the way to horseback riding lessons but I just cannot stand to listen to it anymore. In any given listening period, the narrator's voice tone varies wildl...

Alright, so this is a spinoff to the Guardians of Ga'hoole series, and I already rated two of them, I would recommend reading 1-3 of the series to get to know this character, even though he is not mentioned in the 1st one, I would still read one anyways. Alright, so enough of that, when I saw thi...
This book was fantastic. The last Kathryn Lasky book I read was one of the Camp Princess books, so I was a little hesitant to read this, thinking it would be a light fluffy book. I was surprised to find it packed with emotion, suspense, and fear. The main character, Georgie, is someone we can all...
