01 Wolf Brother
01 Wolf Brother | Michelle Paver
Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world.Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it.Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human.Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.Launched at the height of the Harry Potter phenomenon, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is the ultimate magical adventure. Audio edition also available, read by Ian McKellen.

1. Wolf! 🐺 (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series)
2. No. I badly want a cat.
3. That's like asking me for my favourite book! All the cats, wolves, deer, reindeer, seals, swans, sparrows, otters, harvest mice, slow worms...and... and...
4. Cat, most likely. Or a swan. Or porpoise (I'd love to swim like a dolphin but they're chatty and sociable and I'm really not.)

JoScho Lol I know! I love all the animals too! 💕 7y
Yeah_I_Read I said I would want to be a dolphin not considering the chatty/social bit... might have to revise 😂😂 #introvertproblems 7y
quietlycuriouskate @Yeah_I_Read Yay for the people of porpoise, quietly swimming about while the dolphins take care of all the PR stuff! 7y

#weekendchat @CSeydel

Michelle Paver's "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness" (6 books)

Robin Hobb. I read the first one last year, and enjoyed it, but didn't realise how many there are. I wasn't ready to make that kind of commitment at the time!

Library insists I give them back. My own get shelved, initially. Some are later re-homed.

Found one near me but their blurb said "large outspoken group that loves to socialise". That'll be a no, then.

CSeydel That description! 😂 7y
merelybookish #4. 😂🤣 7y
quietlycuriouskate @CSeydel @merelybookish I know! And they met in a pub, which on my part would just have "anxiety drinking" written all over it ?. I'll just stay home with Litsy, thanks! 7y

#FallIntoBooks #ShadesOfAutumn

Most of these are still in my #TBR
Wolf Brother was very good and different. I really need to pick myself up and read the rest of the series.
Can't say the same for Temeraire. Loved the premise, but l found the execution, especially in the second half of the story, quite disappointing

merelybookish Pretty! 7y

#RockInMay #WildWorld
I own the first book of the series in ltalian, all the others in English. I still miss the last one, but because l want the matching cover (l think the last one is purple) l'm waiting to find it 😆

Really enjoyed the first book, especially the spirituality of this prehistorical world

batsy Oh, nice! I have an adult book by her on my TBR 8y
Cinfhen Very cool 😎 8y
JazzFeathers @batsy That sounds so good! Added. Thanks so much for mentioning it 🙌😆 8y

I read these after finishing Harry Potter for the first time and desperately needed something to get me out of the corresponding slump. These did the trick. I think I read them in two days. But then I needed something to get me out of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness slump.

DiruVamp Wow I've never heard of these but I love the titles! Definitely intrigued! 8y
Laalaleighh Another great nothing will ever beat Harry Potter reading slump suggestion: 8y
