Death freezes everything. Whatever you did or didn’t do, whatever you said or left unsaid: none of that is going to change. You have no more chances to say sorry or make things right. No more chances for anything except regret.

everyone is sleeping on this book series, but Sir Ian McKellen narrates the entire series and i still think of the opening line of the first book even though i found it 16 years ago

please read/listen to this book, it's so good

Embellished

Torak: (To Renn) Dark is telling stories about us. He's included how strong I am. And how often I win. And how majestic you and I look when we set out on an adventure. Renn: Sounds to me if he's telling it that way, his stories aren't accurate at all.

Just finished Dark Matter by Michelle Paver… it was so unexpectedly tender… I’m emotional 🥺 What if we went on a doomed, haunted expedition to the Arctic (and we were both boys 😳👉👈)

Cover art for points of attachment by @gruhukens When you go caving, you carry your lights with you through a system made up almost entirely of darkness. In reality, the natural state of a cave is so dark that absolutely nothing can be seen. But when you go caving, you rarely ever see this, because wherever you look all you know is the light you bring with you. If he was forced to, Jack would admit he thinks knowing Gus and the others is like this: like he's been lost in the passages for years and someone has finally handed him a light.

Tall wolf boi and his angry mate. ... And Wolf, still having a hard time making sense of human courtship behaviour.

Three weeks after New Year, she lost her faith. It happened quite suddenly. She simply woke up and it was gone. As she lay in bed it occurred to her that between religion and superstition there was no difference, since both were based on unreason. To kill a man to redeem the sins of others was as irrational as tapping a hole in one's eggshell to stop a witch using it as a boat.

Forgetfulness

Torak: First it was Seshru, then it was Naiginn! How come we're always discovering family members you have I didn't know about? What about me? (Renn and Wolf exchange looks) Renn: I think he forgot about Tenris. Wolf: And Me! And Darkfur! And our many, many children!!

Chronicals of Ancient Darkness

Another one of my favourite books has gotta be Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver. It's just amazing.

Set in the Stone age with lots of different cultures between clans, Torak finds himself running away from the Demon possesed bear who killed his father. He finds an abandoned wolf cub and they start to bond, and later Torak gets caught by members of RavenClan but befriends a girl called Renn, who helps him and Wolf as they try and defeat the murderous demon bear.

Plus, there's eight more books after Wolf Brother! In order, they are Soul Eater, Spirit Walker, Outcast, Oath Breaker, Ghost Hunter, Viper's Daughter, Skin Taker and then finally, Wolf Bane.

The series can be called Wolf Brother Series or alternatively Chronicals of Ancient Darkness.

In Ghost Hunter, the character Dark and his companion Ark, a white raven, are introduced. He was born albino and was outcasted from his clan (SwanClan) and left to die in the mountains, and he can now see ghosts. He named himself Dark because he thought it would help give him colour. In the last book, Wolf Bane, he gets a mate called Kujai.

I think that this series deserves more appreciation because it's definitely worth reading.

Obviously just in English because here in Italy we're behind light years....

[please-stay-out-of-my-dreams]

I'm so conflicted about the ending of "Dark Matter: A Ghost Story" by Michelle Paver. On the one hand, I hate the Bury Your Gays trope, especially since Gus died almost straight after Jack acknowledged his romantic feelings for the first time. But on the other hand, the ending is very emotionally powerful in a way that it just wouldn't be if Gus survived. Plus at least the dog lives.

While the ending did feel gross from a representation standpoint, Dark Matter isn't the kind of novel where everyone gets to survive and be okay, and I wasn't expecting that. Realistically, either Gus or Isaak the husky was going to get killed off, and I don't blame the author for not wanting to kill Isaak. It's a depressing end to a depressing book and I respect Paver for going ahead with that, even though it comes across as a bit dated and might not fly today (Dark Matter was published in 2010).

I guess it's a product of its time and shows how far we've come regarding LGBTQ representation and awareness of offensive tropes. I also wanna mention that I love this book and I'm not hating on it in this post, just criticizing it.
