A review by owltakizawa
The Journey by Kathryn Lasky
3.0
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.
