I see why this is a popular book. I wish I had read it when I was the target age demographic. I also wish I was more interested in owls, as I think I would've enjoyed it more, even as an adult, if I knew some owl facts/knew what different owl species looked like. But alas, I am a cat person. So that combined with the rapid pace of a juvenile book means it's just not for me at this point.

All the characters are owls, but like all types of abuse happen in here (I just feel odd putting child abuse for owlets, idk). Also, there is a big cult-like/prison/enslavement situation that I'm not sure how to tag, and brainwashing.mercurialmadness's review

Dafür, dass es eigentlich ein Kinderbuch ist, beschäftigt es sich mit ziemlich brutalen Themen. Entführung, Tod und Manipulation stehen hier im Vordergrund und es hat mich wirklich überrascht, dass auf diese Themen teilweise nicht näher eingegangen wurde, wodurch vieles an Potenzial verloren ging. Es ist trotzdem spannend gestaltet worden und beinhaltet eine gute Storyline.
