This was a slog. I had been told there would be some spicy scenes but those must be in the later books; absolutely zero fun, sexy, cave times for our heroine. The book is compelling and readable but it’s just far too long and overly descriptive. Neat premise, but this wasn’t for me.

It isn't mentioned until later in the series, but the main character Ayla is very young. Between the ages of 12-14 during the climax of the story.

i really, really liked this book! following the life of ayla as she grows up amongst the clan was quite an experience. the way this is written is interesting; the characters aren’t as advanced mentally as you or i, but the way the author has written them makes us able to understand most of what they’re saying. please heed the content warnings though, they’re there for a good reason. i look forward to reading the next book!
