Book arrived quickly. Condition was pretty solid with the exception of some scribbling on multiple pages, however does not seem to limit readability. I will say it would be nice to have seller disclose any writing with markers in books. Looking forward to reading. Overall positive experience ☺️

The Best Book In The World Is Spirit Walker

this book was the best book i have ever read in my life so far!!!! I think Michelle Paver is the best author in the whole wide world!!!! my favorit part in the begging when torak finds the guy who was trying to kill the boar and stoped him beacuse the boar was a female and had little pigglets. My faviort part in the middle was when renn found wolf. it made me so happy!!! beacuse

Reels you in like a fish on a line!

Once I started reading the first page, I couldn't put it down. Written with careful planning, it keeps your hand turning the pages until you reach the end. It has a very unsuspecting ending, and along the way your heart is always pounding as if you were really in the book. You feel like you ARE Torak, and you feel everything that he feels - his anger, happiness, frustration, despair...Ms. Paver has wonderful talent. I wish I could write like she does!

A well-written and thrilling installment in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series

Although he is still reeling from the violent death of his father and the loss of his "soul" mate, Wolf, Torak has found a kind of peace living with the Raven Clan. As he tries to sort out his life, he has developed a growing fondness for its leader, Fin-Kedinn, and a kinship with the gentle people. In a single moment, however, all of this changes when he encounters a sick hunter from another clan. The sick man had yanked handfuls of hair from his scalp and beard, leaving patches of raw, oozing flesh. His face was crusted with thick honey-colored scabs like birch canker. Slime bubbled in his throat as he spat out the last of the hair --- then sat back on his heels, and began scratching a rash of blisters on his forearm. With his heart filled with dread, Torak returns to warn the Clan of the fever that is spreading. To his horror he finds that the mad sickness has already made its claim. Where could this be coming from? Was it possible that it had something to do with the Soul-Eaters and the warnings his father had given him? With a jolting realization, Torak knows he must find the source of this sickness. Thus begins a most perilous journey --- a journey to find the cure and a journey that unfolds a past that Torak will find hard to accept. This story is told in two voices --- one from Torak and the other from his spirit brother, Wolf. Wolf refers to Torak and other humans as Tall Tailless. His voice offers views of all the confusion, which seems to result from human greed. Although Wolf does not understand the complexities of these things, he senses good and evil and the need to protect Torak. His ultimate goal is to be reunited with Torak and his journey parallels that of his spirit brother's. Torak builds friendships within the Seal Clan but also tragically discovers a darker secret in someone he trusted. His problems have become deeper and more complex in this story, especially as he begins to comprehend that he is a Spirit Walker. Renn, the Mage apprentice (much like a spirit advisor), is again his companion and once more proves herself to be a true friend and warrior. SPIRIT WALKER is every bit as good, if not better, than WOLF BROTHER. There is yet another book to look forward to and the possibility of a movie. Michelle Paver is in the winner's circle with this trilogy. --- Reviewed by Sally M. Tibbetts
