Anima Design anima_design_lab — ** spoiler alert ** This was certainly entertaining, but I was a little surprised at how like an old Zorro movie it was. Diego picks up skills with no problems, there are never really any great threats or tragedies, and if there are they are dispatched with or resolved quickly and with great adventure. It's a fun read, and Allende certainly writes beautifully and illustratively, but ultimately it just made me want to watch the movies again.

Bruno Ribeiro brunoaraujaa74 — The Burning is the sixth book of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. It was a good story with a plotline continuing from the previous books, and a great resolution when Soren's brother and archenemy is killed. There are a few references to burning throughout the book, but not nearly as strong a theme threaded through as there was in The Shattering. We are introduced to the Northern Kingdoms for the first time in the series. We find that they speak different languages, have different weather, and practice different customs. The author makes the point that different kinds of people must come together in times of need to resist spreading evil. In chapter five, we see Soren begin to doubt his worthiness for the mission that Ezylryb has assigned to him. As the story goes on, he is continually disappointed in what he is able to accomplish, though he is quick to take full responsibility for any failures. As you would expect, this great leader is truly his own worst critic. I think even in the end he fails to see how much the Guardians were able to accomplish because of his leadership. Although I must point out that a constant theme of this series is the lesser characters stepping up and doing great things. We see that in this book with Gylfie and Twilla in huge ways, and other characters to a lesser extent. There is a discussion in the book about vanity. This hearkens back to the mirror lakes when the band was mesmerized by their own reflections and deceived. Gylfie mentioned that “she knew that vanity deceived, and was not a strength, but a weakness.” Having that previous experience helped her to succeed in her mission. I think of how often in our society people are mesmerized by their own looks, and fixated on how they are viewed. Later Gylfie refers to vanity as a “thief of flight.” The loss of flight, perhaps the most precious ability of an owl, makes the point of how destructive vanity can be. There is a brief discussion of forgiveness between Gylfie and Twilla. Twilla had come to the point of forgiving her greatest enemy, Ifghar, and treating him extremely kindly. Only then could her soul heal. Even when she saw no change in Ifghar's heart, she valued the change in her own heart brought about by forgiveness. This is in sync with Soren and our great old war hero, Ezylryb, and a far cry from the hatred and revenge that consumes the heart of Ifghar, Nyra, and Kludd. It is also notable that Soren is extremely affected by the death of his brother, Kludd, even as evil as he was. In the end there is some closure when his parents absolve Soren of any wrongdoing. The Burning was a good book. It did not have the elements of a great novel that its predecessor had, but it did resolve the war with Metal Beak and the Pure Ones. It also set up the expectation of the next great villain. There's also an intriguing loose end with Ifghar. Lasky does a nice job of setting up the next book.
