I first read Wolf Brother a couple years back, and oddly enough, my dad had to force me to buy it.
You see, I read up to the first page and a half, and it says: '...he could see his guts glistening in the firelight.' And for some reason, that made me not want to get the book. But 'ole dad persisted, and I bought it.
After I finished reading, I was like, WOW. Michelle Paver has an amazing talent for writing and I couldn't wait to read the next book.
So yeah, now I've read all three books several times, and I love them. Michelle Paver uses lots of description but her writing isn't purple--I wish my writing was like that. Her characters are soo well-developed and the idea is completely original. I mean, I love her books.
Just recently, the fourth in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness came out. Has anyone bought it yet? I haven't, and it's going on my Christmas list for sure.
(It's Called 'Outcast'.)
If anyone's interested, here are the links to Michelle Paver's sites:

To anyone who hasn't read these books, I strongly recommend them.
