Michelle Paver’s Wolfbane is a magnificent feat of fiction that may well spark mixed feelings among fans of the Stone Age series that began with Wolf Brother. It’s a satisfyingly thrilling, beautifully-written adventure but, given that this is the last book in the series, readers might be left with a sense of loss alongside that satisfaction, such is the power and pull of these books.

“Prickling with desire, the Demon pushes off on its long bone skates and sweeps downhill.” The Demon is watching and waiting, set on claiming Wolf. Around them, Torak and Renn recognise signs of the Demon — a young birch tree “wantonly slashed”; the rotting body of an otter. As Torak knows, “Only a demon kills without reason”, and so he and Renn find themselves in a race against time to save their brother, facing perils on land and sea as the Demon advances at a time “when the world teeters on a knife edge between winter and spring, good and evil, life and death.”

In good news for new generations of readers who’ve yet to discover the Wolf Brother books, like its predecessors, Wolfbane can be enjoyed as a standalone story that will draw them into an unforgettable realm of wild nature and stormy magic. These are books to be thrilled by, to savour, and return to. Stories that reward repeat reads, and blaze with the raw power of story-telling and the magic of unbreakable bonds.

I absolutely loved this book as it was packed with thrilling adventure the whole way through.

Wolfbane is the ninth book in The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series and undoubtedly one of the best. Filled with adventure, this is a perfect novel to sit down and relax with and is impossible to put down. It follows the lives of Torak and Renn as they attempt to rescue their friend wolf from the blood thirsty ice demon Naiginn. Having read all the books in the series, this novel feels like the perfect ending to a much-loved set of stories.... Read Full Review

This book was incredible from the start to the very end. It had detail all through and made me want to read more and more of it every day.

This book was incredible from the start to the very end. It had detail on all the places and characters all through and made me want to read more and more of it every day. I would suggest this book for people who like books that have magic and fantasy elements. I would love to read the whole series once I have got through my current queue of books to read. I would have liked it if there was a key of which clans were human or animal to give it a bit more context, maybe reading other books in the series would help. Overall, it was very good....
