This is the fifth in the chronicles of ancient darkness series by Michelle Paver. This enchanting story is set in a wilderness that houses very different clans, named after animals. When Torak, the hero of the book s an outcast and without a clan, he was the hunted one. Nine moons later he becomes the hunter when he vows to avenge the killing of one of this closest friends. He believes it is the last of the Soul-eaters, Thiazzi, who has done it. Is he wrong? He sets off with his brother Wolf and his best friend Renn on a quest that will take then in the heart of the Deep Forest, and to places feared by everyone. Here they will meet all sorts of clans, and are put in mortal danger. Will they lose valuable friends and will they complete their cured vow? All these questions are answered in Oath Breaker. It is a story about keeping secrets , and the true cost of vengeance. It is written in a way that is amazing to read, because she writes like there is different names for things, like humans to Wolf are ‘Tall Taillesses’. this is extremely good writing and this book should be bought, though the stories before this are also very good and link together. You should rad the whole series, though, not just this book alone.
I highly recommend you read this, but not before reading the other four, as they has a very close relationship. I don't think many people will understand the story as it should be, as they intertwine will what Torak is feeling most of the way through the book, and his way with the other characters.
