The Guardians of Ga'Hoole's various plots are already wild, but The Wolves of the Beyond is just... bizarre
#in a way that's almost not enjoyable to me at least#I mean we're already off to a not great start because despite getting a lot of her owl facts right she falls into the same old pop culture#trap with her Wolves. which is annoying and also boring#Gnaw wolves are the only ones who can guard the ember/the volcano but only disabled/disfigured wolves can become gnaw wolves but they're#also abandoned at birth and expected to overcome nearly impossible odds and eventually somehow return to a pack#and this is expected to happen multiple times? enough to have a yearly competition or something? what?#but then there's that female wolf which was blinded by her father or whatever#so that her pack would have an elegable wolf#because producing the guardian/artist wolves is an important thing and iirc it also gets you political points#which means that there is reason to purposefully maim your own children#but that doesn't make sense when you're going ti abandon them anyway????#and then#They're guarding the Ember which is super important right? Not to sound like an ass but why would you want this super important thing to be#guarded by wolves that are physically less capable than others#But then doesn't the Ember only have meaning to the Owls? it doesn't have jack shit to with the aggressively Scottish wolf packs#full context I read the first three books when they where coming out#I have read Guardians much more recently#so this could all be entirely misremembered lol#guardians of ga'hoole#wolves of the beyond#Kathren Lasky
