Ghost Hunter by Michelle Paver
5.0
"The entire series is 5 stars. A little bit like the last book of Harry Potter at the very end" said Tyler, my 8 year-old son.
Update 3/28/13:
Wow and wow. I loved this book! I tore through it not being able to handle the anticipation of how this journey ended. At the beginning, there are some of those things that do get repetitive - c'mom Torak, would you stop going off by yourself!! It is getting to be like a bad horror movie! Oddly, I felt like the horror element in this book wasn't as great as the others, but that could also be that we knew the evil so well at this point that it is not as much of a shock to encounter it.
But Michelle Paver throws in some great twists with the plot that I really appreciated. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I will simply say that her choices allowed the last part of this journey to be as epic as it should be. And I loved how she handled the ending - I didn't think of it ending the way it did, but it makes perfectly wonderful sense. The possibility was foreshadowed and I hadn't picked up on it.
This was also my favorite series. I give props to Ms. Paver for creating a vivid natural world and offering a look at each of the clans and their rituals in great detail.
