Review
...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 as 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 times 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 the 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 are measured in relation to how much these characters respect their environment -- David Mohan DAVID MOHAN WORDPRESS BLOG

Michelle Paver has done it again. Excellent read. Loved the whole Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Series. It is wonderful to see the enthusiasm shown by the students in our school, especially the boys!

There's something strange in the mountain-hood

I found the previous book in this series Oath Breaker: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness book 5 to be the weakest, so weak in fact that it put me off reading this final book for 3 years. Thankfully, Ghost Hunter is better, darker, and more focused, though it could still lose a few pages here and there.
Torak and Renn go off to Ghost Mountain to defeat Eostra before she can take over the world. Their camp is attacked by a giant Eagle Owl and evil dogs hunt them through the bleak wilderness. Everyone, including wolf, splits off in different directions creating plot threads that occur simultaneously, driving the narrative forward with a more urgent momentum than the previous book.
Ultimately it's a little anti-climactic but is a satisfying, if hardly epic, conclusion to the series. In the beginning Michelle Paver seemed to created magic in a pre-science era rather believably and grounded in reality without resorting to the high-fantasy of LotR or Conan. Gradually, as the books went on, that seemed to be replaced with general hocus pocus, which left me feeling a little cold and alienated.
I'd still recommend the entire Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series to readers. It has its ups and downs but overall very worth it.
