Guardians of Ga'hoole: The
Outcast was the eighth book of the series and it sounded
great. I had read a little in a sneak preview in a previous book, and I was
dying to read more.
It is set in future where humans are extinct, and owls
write books and fight with metal and fire. It follows the story of a young Barn
Owl, Coryn, hunted by his creul mother, Nyra, and her army, 'The Pure Ones'. He
is sent on a quest to a wasteland of direwolves and outcasts like himself - and
he has to retrieve a magical coal, 'The Ember of Hoole' from a Volcano to ever
be accepted into a Great Tree full of noble owls in the middle of the sea. It is
a mixture of emotions as his friends die for him but he is finally accepted by
other owls and when he reaches the tree in the end, and made king.
My favourite part was when Coryn dove into the
Volcano for the ember. It was cleverly described and he deserved it after all he
had been through.
I enjoyed it very much. It was brilliant, and I would
reccomend it but you would have to start from the first book to fully understand
it.
