I loved the story.  It is very heart warming.  The Snow Owl is a very short story, but the author manages to provide the reader with a complete story that is well written with good character development.  The story begins with a thorough description of a couple with totally different "likes" from sports to the weather.  Out of the love and respect for each other they take separate vacations. The young wife dies while giving birth to a child that is not her husband's.  The husband raises the child as if the child were his own. The author did an excellent job of presenting a loving father-son relationship amidst the dangers of the 7-year old son being kidnapped by the Snow Owl from the magical kingdom Lukana.  The ending is an unexpected surprise.  The book is a complete short story but I would have liked to know more about why the mother died, since she was so healthy.  Although the Snow Owl ends as if the child no longer remembers Lukana, the story of Lukana could be brought back to life when the child gets older.
