The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series continues with another action-packed installment. Torak has been branded as a Soul Eater by the evil Viper Mage and according to clan law he is cast out. Any person who sees him must kill him and he's not to get help from anyone. Torak, soul-sick and confused, journeys to the Lake where the Otter Clan lives and there he discovers the source of his illness- Seshru the Viper Mage. He knows he'll have to defeat her to save his own life and protect the lives...more

"Outcast" was much darker and more chaotic than the rest of the books in this series so far. However, the outcasting posed an interesting problem that developed into an engaging, fast-moving plot. The dark and chaotic feeling of this book turned me off only a bit, but I think it's because of that (and that alone) I give it four stars instead of five. The thing with Seshru and Renn also annoyed me a bit... it just felt cliche, but it certainly did provide an interesting twist. I felt re...more

Semakin cinta sama Serigala. Kenapa yak selama ini banyak buku anak-anak yang menempatkan serigala sebagai karakter antagonis. Klo menurut buku ini sih, Serigala itu pintar, setia, anggun dan kadang kala lugu he he he... namanya juga binatang, tetep aja kalah ama manusia. Setiap baca serial ini, aku jadi pengin bisa ngobrol ama serigala. Tapi untuk itu masak aku harus jadi anak serigala dulu, wew!

The main character Torak is discovered to have a soul eaters mark on his chest.(from book 3, Soul Eater) This book was about the cleansing of his mind, body(literally) and soul, all the while dealing with the Viper Mage, who turns out to be his gal pal's, Renn's, mom--a secret she hadn't told him.
It is high adventure and survival. The author did her research into ancient cultures. The wolf/wolf brother aspect as in all the books fascinates me. The only part I didn't like is that it is...more

Covernya kurang begitu suka. Gambar Serigala-nya terlalu kejam, dan Toraknya mirip Pitecantropus Erektus. Loh kok malah ngomentari cover-nya ya? Hehe.
Buku ini adalah buku ke-4 petualangan Torak, dan aku mampus setengah mati ketika meng-editnya. Masalahnya adalah : aku baru baca buku pertama-nya, padahal banyak banget istilah-istilah yang ada di buku ke-2 n ke-3 yang harus ada di buku ini.
Aku sih suka sama buku ini. Apakah ada yang suka juga?

I love this series. The first book was okay, the second and third were wonderful. This one is slightly less good because I thought a sizable part in the middle was a bit boring, but Paver still has that beautiful clear writing style that I love so much and the characters are still as appealing as ever. I'm eagerly awaiting the next book!

I think I discovered this series for my sonrecommends it for: sci fantasy about ancient times
An excellent sequel - gripping to the end! Some surprises, and I'm anxious for another sequel! All good character developments - interesting to see Bale back - will have to look back to remember better the role he played in the previous sea trip book.

Slightly scarier and darker than the other books, which was perfect considering the subject matter. Another outstanding addition to the series.
