Michelle Paver

I have to say - I am a huge fan of Michelle Paver - whether she is writing adults or children's fiction and it all feels so effortless. With this book Gods and Warriors she's back in children mode taking us deep into the Mediterranean to Greece with 12 year old Hylas being our lead character and Pirra of the same age being the main female lead.

For this new 5 book series Hylas is desperate to find his missing sister Issi whilst running away from the mysterious black warriors who have also killed his dog.

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver is a ghost story of the highest order, which starts of innocuously enough with the preparations for an expedition to Norway for five men and their huskies - but what could go wrong? Should they listen about the myth of - something is out there and wants to get them!

Ghost Hunter is the 6th and final book in the 6 book arc by Michelle Paver of The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, set around 6ooo years ago. She has given us a roller coaster of a ride with our trio, Torak, Renn and Wolf as  they fight to overcome the evil of Eostra the wicked Mage.

I just loved this book and the writings of Michelle Paver; she has a way with words that are exciting and unusual, that make you want to turn the page over as fast as you can to find out what happens - will Torak live even as it has been prophesized that he will die - no matter what.

Oath Breaker is Michelle Paver's fifth book in her series The Ancient Chronicles of Darkness which follows the adventures of Torak, Ren and Wolf set about 6ooo years ago.

Oath Breaker is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series by Michelle Paver and is quite brilliant. It is a definite plus to have Sir Ian McKellen read the books who provides so much atmosphere in his rendition of the story.

Michelle Paver is an extraordinary writer who is able to convey so much in her writings that make us believe and care about her characters Torak and Renn.

Torak is cast out from his adopted tribe and slowly going mad. Both wolf and Renn desperately want to help but he pushes them away as he sinks ever deeper into the battle within him.

Sir Ian McKellen gives an incredibly atmospheric rendition of Michelle Paver's book Outcast, but what is so fantastic is that you can go from book to audio cd and back without missing a beat.

It is interesting how we can have a picture in our minds of scenes in the book and then change them when we hear such an excellent rendition of the words.

I highly recommend this audio book for children and adults.
