Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #1: Wolf Brother

“Fantasy adventure on a grand scale, with a wealth of wilderness lore and convincing characterizations.” —Booklist

Fans of Fablehaven and City of Ember will devour Michelle Paver’s bestselling fantasy series about one boy’s epic fight against evil and the wolf who guides him.

Six thousand years ago. Powerful mages stalk the land, threatening to destroy all the forest clans. According to legend, only twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat them. Their journey together takes them through perilous terrain and into dangers they never imagined. Torak and Wolf are terrified of their mission. But if they do not battle to save their world, who will?

“Torak’s coming-of-age tale will keep the pages turning.” —Publishers Weekly

I read this book over Christmas break when my niece told me that it was her favorite book from her childhood. She had even brought it with her to read during her break. I was reminded as I read it that fantasy is not my go to genre. There was a lot to follow in terms of the world the author created. The characters were well done, especially Wolf. I was glad I read it to be able to connect with my niece.

Found this book in a goodwill when I was in middle school and only bought it because I was obsessed with wolves. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve read this book and still occasionally reread it. I can’t say the same for the rest of the series which I tried and failed to finish.
