This is a good read, but sometimes a slow read with some areas being overdone. How many times does the author have to rehash events from the previous four books? Every chapter it seems. Plus the sexual encounters between Ayla and Jondalar are forced as if the author just had to have something for filler to make the book longer. As others have said, I barely skim over the descriptive narrative and all the ridiculously long and overused "formal introductions" of characters to each other. This book could easily be half the number of pages and still be good.
