Owlet was a unique story that I found to be very nicely written, though initially confusing. It's not that I didn't understand the lore, but that I had to learn what was happening, right along with the sheltered heroine, Iris. Sometimes that works for me, but often I don't enjoy being clueless.Iris was a very sympathetic heroine. A severe asthmatic, she has led a confined life with only her father and nurse. She is a girl who misses her long dead mother, and dreams of flying every night. When her dreams clash with her reality, Iris is set on an adventure that will redefine her life.Once Iris begins to discover the truth, she meets Falcon, a boy she doesnt' remember, but shares a past with. Falcon was perfect for Iris. He was thoughtful, brave and loyal. His life without Iris has been difficult. Once they reconnect, Falcon is a force to be reckoned with.As for the meaning of "owlet" and the Society of Feathers, I found that to be the most interesting aspect to the book. I assumed, with the name "feathers", that Owlet was about angels. I wasn't even close. Author Emma Michaels did a beautiful job of thoroughly forming her unique paranormal world.Despite my initial confusion, I enjoyed Owlet. The story ended at quite a crossroad and I'm curious to learn what happens next.
