There is this foreboding feeling that something bad is going to happen. Right from the start of Wolfbane there is a real sense that the end is coming. Some stunning illustrations to help bring this ancient story to life! A stunning addition to bring this wonderfully jacketed series to a close! And Geoff Taylor has outdone himself too with the chapter headers in this one. Lord, the cover! John Fordham does a wonderful job every time but this one has taken the biscuit.
It doesn't matter how many times I read them, I am drawn in so whole-heartedly and that is something truly magical.įirst off, the cover, as that's the first thing many will see. I had gone home and I loved every second again as if it were the first time I had read the series.
But after re-reading the series, back then running from Wolf Brother to Ghost Hunter, I felt myself coming back. In 2016, when my mum passed away, I completely lost myself and didn't really do much for several months. This series has genuinely gotten me through some of my darkest moments. But with that joy came impending sadness because I knew back then that I would one day again have to say goodbye to these characters and this world that I love so much. And when it was announced in 2019 that that dream was coming true I could not have been happier. For so long I dreamed of Michelle returning to the world of Torak, Renn, Wolf, Fin-Keddinn, Dark. This has been a very bittersweet experience for me. Honestly, I am not quite sure where to really start with this one. Fast forward to late 2021, that boy, now a fully grown man found himself in possession of a proof copy of the ninth and final book in the series that means so much to him. From Forest, to the sea, from the mountains to the dangerous depths of the Deep Forest, the boy found himself a place away from the real world that felt safe, like home. As the years went by, the boy followed Torak, Renn and Wolf on their adventures, growing with them as he went. This was the book he had been searching for. He picked the book up and read the first page before begging his mum to buy it for him. An earthy, reddish brown cover with a stick figure image of a person and a wolf. His eyes searched the shelves, finding familiar names and titles that he had already read when something new popped out at him. Way back in 2004, a 12 year old boy was stood in Ottakar's looking for something new to read. Can we get another 3 books in 10 years time like we have with Viper’s Daughter, Skin Taker and Wolfbane?! Please. I’m just so sad that this is actually the end. Michelle has really outdone herself with this one. Full review to come, but this was a thrilling and emotional instalment brining the overall series to a final close.
