Oath Breaker (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #5)
Torak circled the fire and Thiazzi came after him: slowly, cracking his whip, playing with his prey as a lynx plays with a lemming. Torak was exhausted. He wasn't going to last much longer.
When he was outcast, Torak was the hunted one. Nine moons later he becomes the hunter, when he vows to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends.
Racked by guilt and grief, he

this book was actually pretty desent i think that the book was well written and well organized itw was a very interesting book michelle paver has never failed to diasa point me in any way i think that this book has offered a lot it has many different unique qualities which i really like i found this book to be focused more on sadness and revenge rather than all of the mythical action packed books in the series this one gets more serious than the other book torak has to avenge his kingsmans ...more
What I liked: Where to start? I have loved this series of books since I first opened Wolf Brother in 2004. Michelle Paver’s beautiful writing creates an ancient world that instantly draws you in and makes you believe in it so much you can almost feel the breeze and hear the Forest leaves rustling around you.
I love her detail. She has obviously done a lot of research and truly immersed herself in the world of post-ice age Europe and this reflects in every single line of the book. You...more

(2008) Menanti versi Indonesianya.. Udah penasaran nih ma kelanjutan kisah Torak dan Renn melawan Soul Eater. Kejutan apalagi yang diberikan Paver dalam buku kelimanya ini ya??!!
(2010) Gila... versi English-nya keluar tahun 2008, versi Indonesia-nya baru muncul Februari 2010... Hmm... tapi menurutku yg kelima ini agak kurang seru n kurang asyik dibanding yg sebelumnya... Kenapa ya??

This is the best book so far in this very good series! It is packed full of adventure, literally from page one! Torak suffers yet another great loss in life, and this time, not being a small child, he swears revenge. He drags those who love him - Wolf, Renn, Fen-Keddin - along on his quest, and often, in spite of the evidence directly in front of him, he allows his oath of vengance to lead him down paths that are not in his best interests. Like any kid feeling grown while not yet being grown, h...more
O LORD this book was amazing!!! i think i passed out when i finished it CUZ THE NEXT BOOK DOESNT EVEN HAVE A RELEASE DATE ON IT YET! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH im going to kidnap michelle paver and make her give me an advanced copy
Just like the first four books in this series, Michelle Paver keeps the action and adventure fast-paced and gripping. We follow Torak into the Deep Forest where danger threatens him at every turn as he seeks to fulfill his oath of vengenance against one of the Soul Eaters. Ms. Paver's beautiful writing is such that we can feel his despair and anger and pain as though it were our own. I think that what I like most about this series is the incredible bond between Torak and Wolf. They are pack-...more

G sedikit heran dengan begitu mudahnya kematian Dukun Ek!! Aduh tolong yah, harusnya didramatisir sedikiiiiit lagi hahaha...napsu membunuh g kumat neh keknya, maaf! dah naluri dari sononya (ini efek kurang tidur)
Tapi tenang, g masih tetap suka dengan hubungan misterius Serigala dan Torak ditambah lagi makin berkembangnya perasaan Torak dan Renn, jadi agak susah untuk nggak suka ma buku ini. Finally, torak memiliki kawanan sejatinya. Uhuy!!!

CHRONICLE OF ANCIENT DARKNESS - BOOK 5: OATH BREAKER by Michelle Paver
Oath Breaker is about a boy who lived in prehistoric times and had to learn to survive on his own. His father has died and he has been outcast from any clan. When Torak's best friend is killed, he swears vengence and goes after the killer along with another best friend and her uncle. I loved how the author enabled us to see what life was like back then and to see how people saw and interpreted their world. It was fascin...more

The fifth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. Torak and Renn head for the Deep Forest to kill the Soul Eater Thiazzi who has just killed Torak's kinsman and taken the last piece of the fire opal. But there is a rottenness at the heart of the Deep Forest clans that threatens to create a war that will engulf everyone. Can Torak kill the Oak Mage before it's too late? Can he recover the fire opal? Can he and Renn stop a war between the clans? This is such a good series! I can't wait ...more
This was so much different than the other 4 books ahead of it! Even from the first chapter, it had me glued. Events happen in this book that you'd never guess that it would happen. Friendships falter needed the most, an invinsible enemy, angry lots and lots of angry, and so much more than I thought it would be! Paver surprised all readers to this new and exicting jorney for Torak. I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as I did. And a warning, I cried 3 times, it was so sad. And usally I never ...more
So far, buku paling keren di seri ini, bahkan lebih keren dari Wolf's Brother (pertama kali jatuh cinta ama Paver) dan Outcast (kedua kali jatuh cinta ama dunia Torak) dengan kata lain gua jatuh cinta lagi untuk ketiga kalinya (gak penting) !!
Seperti Wolf's Brother yang bab pertama aja udah tancap gas, bab pertama Oath Breaker juga bikin gua ketar-ketir~~ salah satu tokoh yg lumayan eksis mate (bisa diduga), dan Torak jadi agak gila gara2 mo balas dendam (sigh, emosi tokoh utama yang...more

When a Soul Eater kills Torak’s best friend, Torak follows the killer into the Deep Forest seeking vengeance. The consequences of seeking vengeance constitute the main theme of the story. Some parts, including the climax, were a little rushed and I wish they were fleshed out a bit more. Even so, it’s an enjoyable read. I especially liked Torak’s relationship with the Deep Forest, and that’s as it should be. I also liked the ending.
Bagian satu:
Baru lihat tadi pagi sampul edisi2 lain buku ini dalam bahasa Inggris. Jadi muncul pertanyaan iseng.
Begini, dalam buku ini petualangan Torak di Hutan Dalam mempertemukannya dengan klan Rusa Merah, klan asal ibunya. Maklum deh kalo rusa bertanduk menjadi sampul edisi bahasa Indonesia dari Matahati ini. Tapi kok ungu ya, bukan merah.
Tapi lagi... buku ini rupanya juga mencatat Torak sebagai Homo sapiens pertama yang menunggangi salah satu famili Equus cabal...more

In this penultimate book in the chronicles of ancient darkness series, we see the main character Torak swear an oath to avenge the killing of his trusted friend Bale.
As previously, Michelle Paver writes with a passion to focus on both the description of the land and way of life 6000 years ago. The way in which the author writes about the emotions felt by each of the main characters is also very thought provoking.

OKay..I accidentally skipped this book, and went ahead of myself to read the finale for this series. Seriously, that was a good excuse to reread the last book again. But, I didn`t lied.. It was mistake.. I`ve finished with the last book when I first realized about this human error..LOL..
Anyway about this..OMG..The bits of love between Torak and Renn..Finally, after all this years.He was obviously jealous of Bale, which I think had small parts in in the beginning, and none later on..

Not having read the first four books in this series, I still enjoyed the fifth book, Oath Breaker. Ms. Paver inserted past information in a subtle but effective way that brought important points from previous books into this story.
Getting a glimpse into possible ways of life 6,000 years ago, the book is full of adventure beginning with Chapter One and continuing to the end of the book. Definitely a recommended book for kids who enjoy a fast-p...more

Saia mencoba maklum bahwa seri Torak tetaplah seri untuk anak-anak (khususnya), maka ketika setiap bukunya tidak diakhiri dengan "brutal" sebagaimana yang saia imajinasikan (terjadi pertarungan seru penuh darah untuk menumpas satu demi satu para Pemangsa Arwah), saia tetap mengacungkan jempol karena Michelle sukses memberi nyawa pada Torak dan Renn untuk survive di dunia/bumi yang masih perawan itu. Menyaksikan petualangan Torak, jadi ingat suku Na'vi di film bombastis James Cameron, A...more
an interesting story about learning to live with your mistakes and learning from them so that you don't repeat the same mistake again, Torak losses his blood kin and swears vengeance on the soul eater who killed him, but he has to put aside his feelings and save Renn when she is captured by the same soul eater
Like the other books in this series, this is a real page turner. Sometimes I find myself bored with overly long descriptive patches, but the cliffhanger chapter endings keep me from setting down the book. I eagerly anticipate the next volume!
Yet again, I bagged myself a copy on the day of the books release. Another awesome instalment! The world of Torak, Renn and Wolf and their adventures in the saga of a young boy’s destiny gets better and better!
Finished Oath Breaker at 3 am this morning. It is nice when you can't sleep to have a good book to read. This had the best ending so far of this series....beautiful. I'm a big Michelle Paver fan.
Not the best in an otherwise outstanding series but still head and shoulders above the rest, thanks to some beautiful closing scenes. Love Torak, Wolf and Renn!
best one in the series by far
can't wait to buy Ghost Hunter
oh darn i don't live in the UK, now i have to wait until july because my dad wont order it
peace out

The fifth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is a book that, although not the best of the entire series, does leave you waiting and whishing for the last book to be published.
In this, the fifth installment, Torak again faces tough decisions that will create suspense in the reader as they await his choice. The book obviously involves one of the soul eaters, and this particular soul eater is portrayed as the terrifying figure of darkness which Torak must defeat.

Awesome as usual!! If you have not read the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness I would strongly recommend you do. Although Oathbreaker is not as gripping as previous books, it's worth reading as part of the series.
