Advantages: Great story and a long book

Disadvantages: map can give away the plot!

This book is my favorite in the series, bar the original "clan of the cavebear".

This long book, 976 pages to be exact, is about the long travel of Ayla and Jondalar across the ice age europe to reach Jondalars home tribe. The map at the front of the book shows the route used by the couple, and shows where important points in the story occur. Although it can sometimes ruin some surprises as if you look at the map before you read, it tells you the main parts of the story!

The book has many different things in it, and the couple stay with a few different groups of people, but traveling on horse back, which was new for their time, often caused people to act in strange ways, thinking they are demons!

The book is very gripping as you never know what they are going to encounter next, as being set in ice age time, you never know what kind of beast they will find.

Like in my clan of the cavebear review, it is also noted that as they travel, the author goes into ridiculous detail about the fauna that surround them, so skim reading through these is how i got through!

Summary: a great book in the series
