Slightly more action and plot than the first, but I almost felt like I was reading the caveman version of 50 Shades of Grey!

I'm always worried about reading a new series because I typically fall in love with the first book, because of the new characters and whole new worlds, but then the next books in the series tend to feel repetitive, so I don't enjoy them as much.
This is not one of those series! In The Valley of Horses you're introduced to new characters and cultures and so much more, I adored it! It was like reading a whole new story.
Definitely worth the read! They're long but I find the details are worth it.

Not as good as the first. Still incredibly interesting, and I’ll definitely be reading the third.

this book took me on a wild ride for sure, i was fascinated by the tools ancient humans used and how we think they made them; loved the take on the beginning of pets and domestication and how a lonely human reaches out to other animals for companionship; learned the meteorological patterns that occur around a glacier which was super cool. which was why it threw me for a loop when there was like random smut sprinkled in there? and not even good smut? like there’s only so many times my own two eyes can read the word throbbing before i start skipping through it.
did consider giving it 3 stars but i’m like 1000+ pages deep into investing into these characters so i will be continuing the series to figure out what happens to them and the book gets at least 4 for convincing me to go on. plus i know how glaciers influence the weather now which is sick

I found the story of "the Others" a bit boring, I couldn't wait to get toAyla's chapters. But once I got more or less half the way through, i just couldn't stop reading.
I love the development in Aylas character and her understanding of the world.

This book drew me in. I enjoyed reading Ayla's beginning in the first book. But this was really Ayla's coming of age and coming into her strength story. I'm excited to see where she and her caveman go in the next story.
