I thoroughly enjoyed this 6th book in The Earth's Children series. We certainly waited long enough for it.

There were some things I didn't like so much. There was a tremendous amount of review. Maybe the author thought that since it had been so long since the last book, we needed that. I didn't. I loved those books so much that just a minimal reminder of customs of each tribe would have sufficed. As soon as I started, I was right back into their story.

And, if I never hear or read another description of a cave again, it will be way too soon. I realize the name of the book should have told me to expect that, but so much?! The text could have used a lot more of Ayla and Jondalar and less of cave descriptions.

When I finished the book (I read it on Kindle)I kept trying to turn the page. I checked to be sure my Kindle wasn't frozen, but, no, it wasn't. It felt as if the author just stopped writing. I found it so abrupt. There was so much more she could have given us!

That being said, I did really enjoy this book and grieve the fact that it is the last we'll hear of all these people we've come to love.
