" Yes, I'm still reading this series. This book is told a little different than the others. In addition to being book 9 of the series, it's also the first book of a series within the series. It is a story of how things came to be in the owl kingdom. It gives background on a lot of the legends referenced in previous books. "

" Lasky seems to be getting inconsistent with her own mythology... "

" Once again switching characters up a little, this starts a three book mini-cycle of this wonderful saga with insight on how owls "lived before this time." "

" Nice history of our owl friends. "

" How could it end there? I need to know what happens next. I like that Ms. Lasky is taking a little time out to tell us the history of the guardians. It's engrossing and captivating, and I can't wait for the next one. "

" I really liked this book. It had action and adventure. I would recamend this book to anyone who has read the other ones and likes adventure and action. One of my favorite charcters in this book is Grank. Grank is simlar to another character named Coryn(Nyroc) in a few ways. They are simalar because they both have something to fight for and they can both read fires(Firesight). The differnce between them is Grank is an adault. Also that Grank is not a king like Coryn, but Coryn is not a worrier in the southern kingdomes like Granke. "

" Lasky continues to enthrall with her series about owls and their Lord of the Rings type kingdom. Excellent writer... "

" This one really bored me at first because it did not have a story about Soren or Coryn, but the end turned out fine. "

" This is the of 3 books that goes back to tell the earlier part of the story, the history of the owls. While it was interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing how this applies to the "present day" story, as the book hints that it will. "

" Just not quite as good as the rest of the series. "

" This book takes us back in time in the history of the owls of Hoole to the creation of the first owl to tame fire (the first collier). Pretty solid, although not one of my favorites. Perhaps just because I'm so attached to the characters from the first eight books. "
- Myra, 12/24/2013
-
" This book is much different from the previous Guardians of Ga-Hoole books. Soren and Coryn read a story of Ezylryb's about Grank, the first collier. A collier is an owl who deals with fire. The book tells the story of how Hoole, the prince, was born. "
- Meg, 12/21/2013
-
" I'm enjoying the story within the story of these next few books. This book and the couple that follow is the legend from the beginning of Hoole...so interesting. "
- Karen, 12/4/2013
-
" Now the prequel of the saga. About the legend of hoole. The author give a different approach on how the story is told. This time it was told as if we were reading a journal. However it still has all the best characteristic of the other story. "

" A dying Ezylryb tells Soren and Coryn to read the legends of Ga'Hoole. Together the two owls learn about the first collier, Grank. "

" Better, perhaps, than the previous book, but not great. The problem with this book is that it felt incomplete. It really should have been combined with the next book or two (haven't read them yet, so I'm just guessing) into a single longer book. "
- Cmadler, 8/17/2013

" One of my favorites in the series. "
- Brandi, 1/23/2013

" I was pretty disappointed that this book has taken us so far afield from Soren and Coryn, so it took me over a week to finish it. It was just okay - I'm just not as interested in the backstory here. "

" The kids have really enjoyed this series (well my youngest gets a little bored at times) but this 9th book so far is boring! We hope it gets more exciting soon... only 6 or 7 chapters into it so we're holding out hope. "

" This book is essentially a universe-builder and explains the various characters and the enemies in the world. "

" It was very in depth, even though this one was written in 1st person. Overall, it's good because it's diffetent. "

" Ok, I guess. This book is... interesting. That's all I have to say. I don't really see why this had anything to do with Soren and the rest of his Chaw (read the series, I don't want explain) "
