An enthralling conclusion to a great saga.
We held our breath and waited to see if this book could match the high standards of those which preceded it. It was worth the wait, and yes it does come up to standard! As beautifully crafted as before, and impeccably read by Ian McKellen, this is an extremely fitting conclusion to the series.
Torak, Renn, & Wolf find themselves in terrible danger from the remaining Soul-Eater. his tokoroths and the deep magic which the Eagle Owl mage commands. All the clans are threatened, and Torak finds himself fearful to even enter his beloved forest. Dark Fur and Pebble too play their parts and in the end all must make a decision, for as Wolf knows 'No wolf can belong to two packs'.
The final outcome is not without sacrifice on all sides but provides perhaps the most rewarding conclusion to what has become a truly classical piece of writing. The six books stand shoulder to shoulder with other recent classics, including Philip Pullman's much lauded 'Dark Materials' trilogy.
Generations of children will read this series, or listen to Ian's spectacular readings and will be drawn into Torak's world.For this is a world which we can believe, smell and touch, and serves as a reminder to all of us that if we kill our forests, mountains, rivers and lakes, our world too will be consumed by demons.
Thank-you Michelle. Your switch from lawyer to story teller was well worth it!

Best series EVER
The whole family enjoyed this series. Brilliantly read by Gandalf. Strong characters. Great plots. Lots of excitement and action with loads of twists and turns along the way. We particularly liked the way all elements in the stories come together - the landscape, the people and, of course, the wonderful cast of animal characters, like wolf and the ravens.

Another brilliant story by Michelle Paver, read superbly by Ian McKellen as only he can. I would recommend this series of audiobooks to anyone, they might be written for the young ,9 and over apparently but I’m in my Sixties and I’m listening to the whole of The Chronicles of Darkness series. Wolf Brother is the first book, give it a try, you won’t regret it !

4/5
The end of the original Chronicles of Ancient Darkness and it was good of a little underwhelming.
The Good:
- A satisfying resolution to the overarching storyline.
- The ambience is done really well and the book has a lots of suspense and tension.
- There were some twists that I really hadn't expected (or remembered) and thoroughly enjoyed.
What could have been better?
- The ending was nice, in that everything worked out in a reasonably predictable way. Possibly the new books address this but the ending felt super neat with all the ends tied up in a bow.
I've really enjoyed revisiting this series and am going to try out the new books very soon.
