Book Reviews of The Siege (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 4)
Book Review: Excellent continuation of the Guardians of Ga'hoole series
Summary: 5 Stars
Things are never going to be quite the same for Soren, who faced and defeated his own brother in battle. Soren will forever have the memory of that fight in his mind and heart. What makes things worse is that it is soon clear to the guardians of Ga'Hoole that they have not heard the last from Soren's brother. Kludd is still very much alive and has a large following of "Pure Ones," barn owls who think they are the superior owl species and that the Guardians should be wiped out.
In order to protect the Ga'Hoole tree and all it stands for, Soren and his group of special friends must go to the one place Soren hoped he would never see again --- they have to infiltrate the St. Aegolius Academy for orphaned Owls and find out what is happening there. Are the owls at "St. Aggies" connected to the "Pure Ones" in some way?
Soren and his friends must dig deep into their reservoirs of courage and intelligence to get into St. Aggies, to find out what the leaders there are planning, and to get out again. Soren and his group are not the only ones who find themselves face-to-face with terrifying circumstances, for all the owls who live and work in the Ga'Hoole tree find that they are being threatened and a great battle awaits them all.
Building on the owl world that she created in her other Ga'Hoole books, Kathryn Lasky captivates us with the gripping and terrifying events that fill the lives of these extraordinary owls. Many of them must face new challenges and confront old demons. There is no guarantee that Soren and his friends will all survive the new threats that confront them. Spiced with a sprinkling of mythology, mysticism and wonderful characterizations, THE SIEGE is an excellent continuation of a unique series.

Summary of The Siege (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 4)
A war breaks out in the owl kingdom when an evil group tries to take control of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. Soren and the other Ga'Hoolian owls must fight to protect their tree and restore peace.
Soren's beloved mentor, Ezylryb, is finally back at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. But all is not well. There's a war between good and evil in the owl kingdom. On one side is a group led by Soren's fearsome brother, Kludd, who wears a terrifying metal mask to cover his battle-scarred face. On the other side are the owls of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, who must fight to protect their legendary tree from Kludd's attacks.
Soren, his friends, and the other owls at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree enter into fierce combat against Kludd's forces. They win a major battle, but warfare will continue in Book #5.
