I hate a slow burn, but for Ayla, I’d walk through the trenches.

After reading Clan of the Cave Bear I was dying to know what happened to Ayla, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. Most of this book follows two story lines: Ayla and a new character named Jondalar. They're obviously going to converge at some point but I found myself flipping through the Jondalar part paying scant attention so that I could get to the Ayla parts faster. Those bits continued to be a fun read and I cared deeply what happened to her but the other storyline was nothing more than a pre-historic bodice ripper. If you like that sort of thing, this should be right down your alley with quivering mounds, thrusting shafts and everything else. I wasn't really interested but had to see the story through. This will be my last book in the series though. I started the Mammoth Hunters but after seeing the petty jealousy in the first few pages of the book I gave it up as uninterested but if you have to know how Ayla spent her days after being cursed in the previous book then this is a must read.
