Skin Taker: 8 (Wolf Brother)

Product Information

In the Candle Cove novels, it is revealed that before he became the Skin-Taker, he was a man named Thade Soben. Many thanks so Zephyr Books and NetGalley for an advanced copy of Skin Taker by Michelle Paver in exchange for an honest review. I've mentioned before that Paver helps to ignite a love and passion for the natural world (from my child and adult reading experiences), and that is another reason I can only recommend it. For that reason, I have recommended this series to parents and children when I worked in a bookstore, and I would love to pass these books on to any children I may have, when they get to the right age. This is a first rate magical action/ adventure for older children and younger teens, but I would recommend reading the earlier books in the series first (as I’m looking forward to doing).

They change from time to time, but here are the ones that have lasted. For heroes, it’s Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings and Hector from The Iliad.

At the mercy of the Sea Mother and haunted by ravenous ice bears, their quest leads them to the Edge of the World. Skin Taker When he was outcast, Torak was the hunted one. The following spring, he becomes the hunter when he swears to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends. The story itself is sound, do I do think it's missing something that the previous books did have. I only can't quite figure out what that is. I do know, however, that I think it's a bit cheap - if that's the right word - of partially re-using some ideas that were present in Book 5 - Oathbreaker. The Deep Forest, how the clans there act, the idea of war, Gaup's presence... Okay, it may be realistic, and the way she writes it and everything certainly is realistic as well, but it just looks as if she's written the same book twice with some changes. The two bases of the book - the meteorite and Naiginn - are good, though.

Assorted other narratives present The Skin Taker as a foreboding sign of what is to come. The protagonist of "Candle Cove: Day of the Dead" recalls how her son received a macabre statuette of The Skin Taker playing a piano not long before he was murdered by a man for playing the Candle Cove theme. In terms of characters Skin Taker seemed to focus more on developing the central cast, it was good to see The Walker make another appearance though. There were some very well done emotional scenes between Torak and Renn and I think Wolf too grew more as character this time, especially at the end. Run wild with Wolf Brother in a Stone Age world we all want to be a part of with million-copy-selling author, Michelle Paver. Danger, magic and non-stop adventure await Torak, Renn and Wolf. The Clans will be tested as never before, as they battle to find ways to survive and thrive in their beloved Forest.
