This is the best book so far in this very good series! It is packed full of adventure, literally from page one! Torak suffers yet another great loss in life, and this time, not being a small child, he swears revenge. He drags those who love him - Wolf, Renn, Fen-Keddin - along on his quest, and often, in spite of the evidence directly in front of him, he allows his oath of vengance to lead him down paths that are not in his best interests. Like any kid feeling grown while not yet being grown, heToraks adventures with Wolf, Renn and the other Open Forest clans are endangered by Thiazzis reach for power in the Deep Forest where he manipulates the mysterious Red Deer and Auroch clans. In this penultimate volume of the wonderful Wolr Brother series, Torak once again learns about bravery, friendship and forgiveness while nearly losing everything he values. I find that these books are wonderful in their depiction of the Stone Age / Bronze Age in northern Europe and especially loved a moment
This wasn't the best of Michelle Paver's books in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. There were quite a lot of parts in the book that lacked believability for me. Since I work with horses, I felt a big ouch there and wished she had done better research on them. However, it was an exciting read. As always, she has a writing style that really draws you in. The theme of the struggle against a need for revenge was the best aspect of the book.
More action and better flow make Oath Breaker stand out over other books in the series. More back story gets filled in. More character development. And relationship struggles continue to be a theme. Though how Michelle Paver points out the irritating, self deflating dance humans go through to find and affirm our mates is humorously called out by wolf in this book, perhaps as a nod how frustrating it is in real life. And dumb.
This has been the most emotion-driven book of this series so far. Not that it lacked adventure, it definitely didn't.There's a major character death that affects Torak a lot, and all throughout the book, while seeking vengeance, he learns a lot about himself, about others, and others learn a lot about him as well. There's a shift in his relationships with everyone and in the way he sees things. This book felt kind of bittersweet to me and that's probably a way to introduce the next and last book
Sadly, Torak has become a very stupid whining asshole.This is exactly the point where those YA fiction series fail - every other character has logic and their actions somewhat make sense, all but the main character.At some point, it really feels unfair that Torak is still alive.Maybe he should die and Renn should take over.
DecisionIn the latest adventure, Torak must track down the killer of his friend. Torak blames himself for leaving him alone and swears an oath to avenge his friend. The killer they know and he is a powerful Mage. Alliances will be tested among the clans and maybe this Mage's power is all the greater if he's a Soul Eater. Evil lurks within but can others see it before its too late?The Mage retreats to the deep forest which is beset with evil and the clans close to it are turning. The peoples are
