The Land of Painted Caves
by Jean M. Auel
Stopping this on 2nd July 2020.
I am HURT. Why? WHY?! There were so many INTERESTING threads that could have added tension for the entire book but especially the last third without adding THAT. Oh my god. I am distraught and heartbroken and why GOD WHY????? WHY DO THE READING GODS HURT ME THIS WAY??? WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE GOOD FINALES TO GOOD SERIES???
I just won't finish any series. That's what I'll do...I won't...finish...anything...
For fuck's sake, I could write a better ending than that. How can Auel write such an amazing and complex and interesting series (esp. the first 3 books) and then BUTCHER this last one. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
I will re-read the first three books. I may try to read the ending of this book later on down the track, but I am too hurt at the moment.
Ayla could have nearly died in childbirth to make tension with her and Jondalar. Why didn't they explore more communication between the clan and the others? Why didn't they talk about their problems like humans? They don't even have to resolve it. Jondalar could still feel upset that she works too much and Ayla still doesn't want to give it up and Jondalar could still be an asshole because we are human and says that Ayla is his baby and then Ayla screams at him that she IS HIS TOO and Ayla leaves Jondalar to babysit Jonayla still and then Jondalar realises how similar Jonayla is to him and then also other kids and their dads and make the connection and he realises that she is so talented that he can't let her waste away and decides to be happy that she has a fulfilling job.
MAN I feel like writing fan fiction about this now.
