Everything is told in so much detail the clothing, food, tools, facial markings, and surrounding environment. Michelle Paver has this wonderful ability to reconstruct a lost world that could only be reached in the depths of one's imagination.

I was reluctant to read it again only because I had first read it at a much younger age, and I felt that perhaps I had grown out of it. I began reading the series when I was 11 and have recently reread it (for the 4th time?) This is a great book for children of all ages including 40-year-old children. He has special gifts in that he can talk to wolves and he is totally joined with his cub and Wolf Brother. What is so special about Torak? And can he make sense of it? Who can he make friends with, who are his allies and who or what is after him? Torak will start on an adventure that will be overwhelming, supernatural and intriguing. There is more to this situation than meets the eye, but that will be revealed over the next 6 books. Torak lives with his father remote from any clan, and suddenly his father is killed by an evil possessed bear and Torak is left alone with only a wolf cub as his companion. Each clan respected what nature gave up for their nourishment and way of life, but there are rules.

Wolf Brother is set thousands of years ago in an enchanted world split into clans and territories. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness are an exciting read with plenty to get your heart thumping with demons, mythical adventures, and a story of close friendship against all odds. I continued the series and flew through the second and third books, and I will definitely be buying the fourth through seventh eventually. One of my favorites of Wolf's terms is for fire, which he refers to as "The bright beast that bites hot." Paver's description of details is fantastic too, her imagery is persistently vivid and gripping. Hearing the story from a wolf's angle of it is very unique, and Paver uses some really cool language when it comes to speaking Wolf. I particularly enjoyed the dual points-of-view in the book. The plot itself is gripping and suspenseful, especially with the constant cat-and-mouse chase the protagonists experience with a massive, demonic bear. Wolf has a deep love for Torak, and their mutual respect for each other is shown through the gestures and communication Paver describes. The character development of Renn and Torak is thorough, and Torak's relationship with Wolf is noticeably deep and very spiritually significant. I think Paver could not have woven together a better story.

The incorporation of nature, tribal power, and, of course, a hint of dark magic really mixes nicely to create a phenomenal piece of fiction literature. I read this book in one night, need I say more? I absolutely love this kind of novel.
