What a ripoff, skip this one!
I am a huge fan of the series. I Own the other five books in hardcover. However, this book is just terrible. There are about 400 pages of retelling what happened in the other five books, go ahead and insult my intelligence and assume I've forgotten what happened in all five of your books, like if I had, I would have bought the sixth book? 300 pages of oooh a cave, look a picture of a bear, lion, horse, bison, mammoth. 50 pages of Travel, travel, travel oh look a woman with horses and a wolf, travel travel travel, oh look a woman with horses and a wolf. 10 pages of my name is, my affiliation is, I'm married to, good to know you. Every time you meet someone, ad nauseam. And finally about 20 pages of real plot. You could have told the entire book in 100 pages, almost zero plot and most of that boring and tired. Someone jealous of Ayla tries to get even for her being better than them and they get their comeuppance. Oh dear Jondalar is with another woman he must not love me anymore, blah blah blah! Sound familiar? And Cattails!!!! There must be eight places in the book where she details all the parts of the cattail you can use. Ok, tell me once, I got it especially since you've told me at least once in every other book you wrote. Now if she had wanted to write a travel guide of all the ancient caves with picture in Europe, she should have done that instead of bore the crap out of her readers with it. And I paid $12.99 for this, on Kindle? Not even a tree version? I need my head examined. DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!
