Dit boek is een combinatie van chickflick over een driehoeksrelatie en een historisch relaas over de prehistorie. Het zal je niet verbazen dat deze combinatie niet blijkt te werken. De constante herhaling van jaloezie, onzekerheid en miscommunicatie werd snel vermoeiend, al helemaal 792 pagina’s lang. De interesse in Ayla en interessante historische informatie maakte het boek nog oké, maar voor mij eindigt Ayla’s reis hier.

This is the best book in the series so far, in my opinion. I absolutely love it! I have no words to describe how much I love this series. I've learned so much from them so far, I can't wait to catch up to the rest. These books are so realistic that I almost take them as non-fiction. In fact, I DO take it as non-fiction! LOVE IT.

Jean M Auel nos lleva a través de la prehistoria junto a personajes inolvidables, eventos, emocionantes y desenlaces inesperados que nos mantienen conectados a la historia. Una gran continuación de la historia de Ayla.

Oh this book drove me crazy! This has one of the most emotionally trying love-triangles that I have ever encountered. For 3/4 of the book I wanted to pull out my hair and slap a whole bunch of people. I am glad that in the next book Ayla and Jondalar have left the Mamutoi. I could not handle any more of that. But I still love Ayla and Jondalar despite their cluelessness and I love this story so I am looking forward to book 4.

Nostalgia.... wearing..... off..... Starting to get a little embarrassed that I'm still reading. But I'm gonna get through this series! I found the characters much less likable in this one. I like Auel's nature and landscape and animal descriptions and way-of-life descriptions though. I could have done without the romantic plot.
