There's a discontinuity between this and the previous book. Suddenly Ezylryb is Soren's “favorite teacher” rather than the gruff bird he got stuck with. Every time it's brought up it takes me right out of the story. And it's brought up a lot. Also at some point the band told the adults about the barred owl instead of keeping it secret.
Most of the story feels like a poorly written video game. There's no reason for Soren to pursue the leads he does except to trigger the next plot point. Everything is very convenient and the climax goes above and beyond convenient, with bonus Deus ex Machina!
Very disappointed. This series had such promise.
