The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel

1.25

Strong character development: No

It breaks my heart that the series that meant so, so much to me as a teenager ended this way. I've read some people think Jean Auel simply grew tired of telling this story. That's valid. But I'd worship a good fan fiction-universe expansion of this world. Let someone have access to the research so they can write a bunch of novellas expanding Ayla's world. Heck, I'd do it! There's just so much more story that could be told.
