Not as good as the first one. I think it's because this one is building up what is about to happen. We meet new owls. Least these owls are helpful owls, not evil owls. We learn how they learn to battle and train. It didn't have the emotion of the first book. Still, it is nice to see Soren figure out his place in the owl world. See him mourn and talk about his family. He has been through a lot. All the owls have.

Soren and his friends, or band, Twilight, Glyfie, and Digger travel to the Great Ga’hoole tree. There, they are trained to preform different jobs at the tree. They find connections to the last words of the Barred Owl. 
It could have had a little more action and more of a journey to the Ga’hoole tree. That is why I gave this book a solid 4. It is a really good book for anyone who likes fantasy books and for people who likes animal fantasy too.

My only serious gripes with this book is the insane amount of exposition. Things that were thoroughly (perhaps too thoroughly) in the first book are again and again explained in the sequel.

We get it: nestmaid snakes are born blind and have tiny indents where their eyes should be. Burrowing owls like Digger are strange because rather than living in trees like most owls, they live on the ground. Barn owls are the rare Tyto Alba.

It's such a slog to get through the endless descriptions of things we know and takes away from the joy of reading basically warrior cats but with owls.
