Book Reviews of The First Collier (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 9)
Book Review: The First Collier Reviewed by Soren
Summary: 5 Stars
The First Collier was very good, as I'm sure any Guardians of Ga'Hoole fan would agree. I, personally love the characters Soren & Coryn and their stories, and to have them in the Prologue and the Epilogue was great! Sure, I'd like to see them in a whole book, but this is good enough for now. When the Legends are through, Kathryn Lasky may continue on with Soren, Coryn, and the Band, at least I think so, because if Nyra is what Coryn & Soren think she is (I won't say, so I don't ruin it for you all who havn't read it yet) then how can they stop her in just a Prologue & Epilogue of 2 books? What I think will happen is, over the time that the young king and his uncle are reading the Legends of Ga'Hoole in Ezylryb's hoolow, they will figure out exactly how (what Nyra is) was stopped then, so they could do the same now to save Ga'Hoole. The First Collier had it's thrills and sadnesses, and a lot of new words! (Nacht Ga', nachtmagen, gadfeathers, spottilate, ect.) And of course, the surprising end to the book in the Epilogue, in which Soren refers to Coryn "Why, dear boy, why?" and "Go on, my boy", and Coryn reveals what he thinks the reason was for reading the Legends as Ezylryb instructed. Now, is The Coming of Hoole has an Epilogue, and I think it will, then it will probably be a surprise as well to readers. I think Mrs. Lasky has outdone herself with this stunning prequel to the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, and I think the next, the 10th, the Coming of Hoole, and the last, the 11th, To Be A King, will both be equally spectacular and an overall enjoyable reading experience!!!
