This book actually had me in my feels. I had heard from others this one could be boring, being essentially a travel book, and Auel is known for tedious details that can drag, but the interactive moments were very well done. There were points of rhe book I was actively worried for Ayla and Jondalar, as well as their animal companions. The different people they meet are all interesting and there's so many real, modern world parallels that when you read it you feel, "There's nothing new under the sun." Yes, this is an older book but it's well worth the time to read. Solid 4th book.
