Jag blev lite besviken, sista boken var inte så bra som jag hoppats men den var okej.

This series slaps still, little 11 year old me simped hard for Renn, red haired queen. Not the best in the series, but it’s a banger

----aku persembahkan 5 bintang untuk Michelle Paver yang sudah menyajikan kisah zaman kuno yang begitu menawan dan menjeratku untuk setia menikmati serial ini....ending yang menyejukkan ketika Torak dan Renn dan Serigala dan Bulugelap (dan anak mereka) tidak akan pernah terpisahkan....WOW!

The story of a young boy who loses everything and finds hope again in a wolf, has come to an end.
Many lives were lost during this adventure. Friendships were made, and secrets were uncovered. But in the end, you have to ask yourself the question: 'How do I go further from this?'
The story starts a few days after the previous left us. Only this time, Michelle Paver will stomp on your heart and will give you a bad feeling until you've read half of the book!
Yes Michelle, I'm talking about you!
Last time, I was shocked to see how Bale died so soon. But this time, she took it a bit too far.
I couldn't concentrate on Torak who was on his way to vengeance, nor could I care how Renn felt about the whole situation. The only thing I could think about was Wolf.
Michelle succeeded in making me care an awful lot for a wolf, but this time she made me go downstairs and hug my dog.
Luckily, Michelle isn't cold-hearted as some other well-known writers...
In comparison to the previous two books, this journey for revenge felt more challenging and dangerous. And while you could find yourself in the minds of the other Soul Eaters, you couldn't with Eostra. That's the perfect sign that you have a heartless villain who doesn't care what happens. All she can think of is ending the world, taking as many lives with her as possible.
This time, it wasn't Torak against other tribes and people. This time, it was Torak against nature under control of a Soul Eater.
All by all, the story had everything it needed to make the last chapter a special one. New characters, returning characters, heart-breaking moments, and a happy end which you don't really know if you feel happy about it.
Goodbye Torak. Goodbye Wolf. And goodbye Renn...
I hope you'll find peace together.

My favourite book of the entire “Chronicles of Ancient Darkness” Series. Michelle Paver’s writing style has this uniqueness about it that manages to convince you that Torak’s world is your world. Paver’s writing style also makes the series and enjoyable read for both children and adults.
“Ghost Hunter” was an effective conclusion to the whole series and although I am sad to leave behind Torak, Renn, Wolf and Fin-Kedinn I am glad that the book ended everything the way it did.

Siamo giunti alla fine, questo è l'ultimo libro della saga "Cronache dell'era oscura", e che dire semplicemente stupendo, come anche gli altri, forse un po' scontato il finale ma non importa; anche qui la Paver riesce a immergerti in quel mondo primitivo, dove sono vissuti i nostri antenati, e a far emergere i lati positi e negativi di quel periodo così lontano da noi. Dire addio a questo mondo fantastico pieno di magia e di amore per la natura è, in un certo modo, triste...ma non poteva durare in eterno no? presto o tardi tutto giunge alla fine...(ammazza che pessimismo)

"The entire series is 5 stars. A little bit like the last book of Harry Potter at the very end" said Tyler, my 8 year-old son.
Update 3/28/13:
Wow and wow. I loved this book! I tore through it not being able to handle the anticipation of how this journey ended. At the beginning, there are some of those things that do get repetitive - c'mom Torak, would you stop going off by yourself!! It is getting to be like a bad horror movie! Oddly, I felt like the horror element in this book wasn't as great as the others, but that could also be that we knew the evil so well at this point that it is not as much of a shock to encounter it.
But Michelle Paver throws in some great twists with the plot that I really appreciated. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I will simply say that her choices allowed the last part of this journey to be as epic as it should be. And I loved how she handled the ending - I didn't think of it ending the way it did, but it makes perfectly wonderful sense. The possibility was foreshadowed and I hadn't picked up on it.
This was also my favorite series. I give props to Ms. Paver for creating a vivid natural world and offering a look at each of the clans and their rituals in great detail.
