Reviews

"...the themes of friendship and sacrifice are strong, and the descriptions of hunting, tracking and living in the world of six thousand years ago are as vivid and interesting as ever... I'm going to miss the Forest and the clans now that the series is over. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness are aimed at younger teens but I still love them aged nearly-sixteen, and I don't think I'll outgrow them any time soon." -- Kitty (young reviewer) SCOTTISHBOOKTRUST.COM "The final part of the brilliant Chronicles of Ancient Darkness... The saga of dark versus light is told with Paver's rigourous pace and brilliant attention to the detail of Torak's World" -- Fiona Noble THE BOOKSELLER "A literary treat for any young reader looking for something slightly different from the mass of children's releases" HACKWRITERS.COM "These books are wonderful examples of how children's books at their best are motored by brilliant, seamless plotting. There is no waste - everything is taut, clean, efficient... There is a beautifully realised sense of an organic culture depicted in these books, and good and evil is measured in relation to how much these characters respect their environment" -- David Mohan DAVID MOHAN WORDPRESS BLOG
