I was looking forward to reading this because it's a pretty well known series and even though the movie wasn't a big hit I really loved the movie. But the book was a lot different than the movie. It is really slow, it draws things out way too long before continuing the plot. And I really didn't like the way the dialogue was written

Shockingly dark for a middle-grade fantasy. It's well writen, has compelling characters, and the plot moves very quickly.
I probably won't be listening to more of the series because I realize now it's 16 books long and all about war.
The first book alone deals with kidnapping, slavery, brainwashing, and cannibalism. I don't know if I have the heart to hear about more owls dying.
