Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver


The first book in a series of 6, Wolf Brother tells the tale of Torak and Wolf. Unlike most books, this series is set some 6,000 years ago, which makes for a unique setting.
This world is imaginative yet believable, with maps of the corresponding areas.

At the start of Wolf Brother, Torak's father is killed by a demon bear, and Torak sets out to achieve his fathers last wish- to destroy the demon bear. Along the way, Torak meets many useful allies, which each have different significance to the plot line.

What I really enjoyed about this book is the fact that the description is just the right amount- not too much, but enough to easily picture what's happening. Another great quality is that The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (the series' name) books get straight into the action, but yet isn't too complicated, unlike Harry Potter. My final verdict is that not just this book, but the entire series is well worth picking up.
