I've not really been in to reading for a long time now, but I still push myself to pick up a book as I feel guilty for not being in the habit. I've been reading Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series since 2005, and they've had their ups and downs. I didn't even bother reviewing the last entry, and the name escapes me at the moment, but Oath Breaker, while being a fairly brisk and to-the-point book still kinda drags since not a lot really happens in it.
The story is based on already long-established threads from the previous novels and brings nothing new to the series other than closing said threads. Torak once again runs off into the forest on his own, Renn is torn between Torak and tradition once more. Wolf is still confused by human customs. All other tribesman are primitive and gullible.
With no defining scenes and no new characters Oath Breaker feels very run-of-the-mill and by-the-numbers. The closing of the Thiazzi plot is all it really has going for it.
