The War of the Ember

A nice conclusion for this series of books. I enjoyed the whole series very much and learned a lot about owls in the process. Realize that they are written for children but are a delightful read for adults as well. As always there is the conflict of good and evil, with evil being vanquished in the last novel. It also teaches of harmony among all creatures, big or small and among varying species.

Good Series

I bought this book as part of the series for my daughter. She has not quite made it to this book yet, but she is very excited to read the whole set and is reading as often as she can. The movie is also great!

Damaged

From the outside, the book was in perfect condition. I bought it with the rest of the series, and slowly worked my way through the series. I finally got to this one, and was reading it, when I noticed that something was wrong, so I looked down at the page number, only to discover that someone had ripped out 8 whole pages before it got to me. The book is useless in this condition! Honestly, what kind of barbarian would destroy a book like this?!

Acceptable

The only damage was on the cover of the book, a large gnarly scrape and a dent that ran along both covers. Other than that the book appears as if it were brand new and came at a reasonable price

Need someone to answer a quick question for me!

I just bought this book in the store and the cover looks exactly the same except for the title. The letters are in black print, so it blends in with the trees. Is this how it really is and the online cover they're showing with yellowish writing is just so people can read it? Or did I just get a weird book?

The War of the Ember; By Kathryn Lasky

I must say, Kathryn Lasky did a great job on the entire series along with this book. I think it was well written and had a poetic charm on war. Though I am outraged how the series ended. I won't spoil anything for you, but i just do not like the end.
But besides that, Kathryn Lasky has once again, out done herself.
