Book Review: Soul Eater by Michelle Paver (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #3)

So, okay, remember last review of this series? Where I said I'd obtained the entire Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series (in Dutch)? Well, turns out we got a "problem": there's three more books coming out, none of which will be translated into my language. Which wouldn't be problem normally since obviously I love reading in English, but I do have a real thing for having every book in a series be the exact same edition/binding wise. So I'm probably going to have to cave and get the entire series in English as well if I want the new books to be consistent with the other editions. Sigh. That aside, let's begin the review! Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: American Wolf by Nate Blakeslee

 

Been a while since I tackled another wolf nonfiction, so here we go! 

Book Review: Spirit Walker by Michelle Paver (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #2)

It's been a while since I took a look at the first book in this series, but I'm not finally here to tackle the second! I actually own the entire series now, so expect more reviews of Chronicles of Ancient Darkness soon! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman (The Book of Dust #2)

The second installment of the sequel trilogy to His Dark Materials seems to be quite controversial. And I agree. So let's just dive in. Spoilers ahead and trigger warning for rape/pedophilia mentions.

Book Review: Fox & I by Catherine Raven

 

A non-fiction a friend gifted me I of course wanted to take a look at. This time not about foxes in general, but the bond between a particular individual and the author, Catherine Raven.

Book Review: Seeing Red by Ethan Summers and Littlesprout's Stories (Legends of Blood #1)

With Wolf Quest having been out for ages and how creative its community can be, I'm surprised it took this long for someone (or rather, two someones) to write a book based on its storyline and gameplay! Presuming that Seeing Red is the first, that is.

For those not in the know, Wolf Quest is a game where one plays as a dispersal wolf in Yellowstone and completes various goals, such as hunting elk, seeking a mate and establishing a pack. The first edition of the game from years ago was free, but in more recent years it has gotten a big overhaul, leading to a brand new pay-to-play polished version of the game. I myself do own both versions, however unfortunately my computer simply cannot handle the Anniversary Edition even at the lowest graphics and framerate, so I am mostly just stuck watching other people play the game. It definitely looks great, though!

So let's take a look at the journey of such one wolf and her quest, based on the gameplay on Littlesprout's YouTube channel. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Sight by David Clement-Davies (The Sight #1)

 

I actually have a history with this book. Back in the day, I used to loathe this one, together with the Wolves of the Beyond series. Nowadays I'm more open-minded and of course open to re-visiting books I preciously had beef with. 

I recently took a look at Wolves of the Beyond again and while I still don't feel right calling the series good (it's not), it's nowhere near as bad as I made it out to be in the past. So let's see how The Sight does upon a re-read. It has one thing going for it: I do really love Clemen-Davies' earlier, work, Fire Bringer. Spoilers ahead.
