Once again, Michelle Paver's writing instantly immerses the reader
in Torak's world, her meticulous research adding layers of detail
and atmosphere... The characterisation is as strong as ever, making
the reader instantly invested in their lives and the choices each
has to make on their journey... Another outstanding story, Skin
Taker, like its fellows, deserves more than one reading to truly
appreciate the detail and care with which it has been written. I

I am completely in love with this world and reading any of the
books in this series just puts an instant smile on my face. The
author's writing style makes the smallest detail so fascinating and
I could happily just read pages and pages about the characters' way
of life... An excellent series, so I would recommend it to readers
aged 10+ who enjoy fantasy books involving legends, ancient magic,
animals and adventure'

Such an excellent book set in the stone age! My favourite character
is Torak because he seems so mysterious

storytelling... Paver powerfully presents a worldview that's
magical but never primitive'

diligence, making you happy and sad at all the right times... I was
thoroughly engrossed throughout this adventure and I felt as if I
was living every moment with the clans. I enjoyed seeing the
situation from different characters' viewpoints'

Action, clever character development and glorious descriptions of
nature 6,000 years ago'

I really liked this book! ... I wasn't able to read book seven in
the series, but it didn't matter because you can see what's going
on because Michelle Paver is really good at writing in an
interesting way. People who either like fantasy or who are animal
lovers will really enjoy this
