This series goes downhill after the appearance of Jondalar. Auel seems more intent on writing romance novels with a bit of plot once Ayla finds a mate, rather than keeping up with the good historical story she began with Clan of the Cave Bear. But since Jondalar doesn't appear in this book unil more than halfway through, this book is still a somewhat satisfying conclusion to Alya's fate as it was handed down in the first book. If you're fond of romances, this series ought to be a real gem. If not, stop after the second one.
