This book is absolutely incredible just like the others. Just the concept of "Shattering" is brilliant. One of the things I like about this book is that it tells us a lot more about Soren's sister Egglantine. would definitely recommend this book to others to read.*3.5/5 stars
The story of this book is interesting, but the telling can get a bit dull. It could use some drama. I don't mean drama as in fights, though, I mean the writing style. Drama is needed in the way of strategic chapter ends, single-sentence paragraphs, strong adjectives, etc. Those would make it more interesting to read.I also don't like how random the formatting for thoughts seems. Multiple characters' thoughts are shown each chapter;this could work fine, but it lacks good transitions. Sometimes
The Shattering is the cleverly crafted fifth book of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. The title refers to the mind of owls who are subjected to the mind-controlling flecks used as weapons by the pure ones. It is a story that brings to the forefront advanced warfare that is waged not on the body, but within the minds of unsuspecting young victims. The numerous references to shattering with terms such as slivers, shards, splitting, fragmented, piece by piece, and division weave a disturbing
Really enjoying the creativity of these booksthe details about owl lives and physiology combined with an awesome Fantasy good vs. evil plot!
Eglantine gets to star in this book but, unfortunately, is a complete liability the entire time. She's too young to do a lot of the things older owls like Soren get to do, conveniently ignoring the fact that she's THREE WEEKS YOUNGER! Pretty sure she and Soren are both more than two years old at this point. Unfortunately that's such a big part of the story this time that it ruins most of the good bits.
