![]() ![]() The Mamutoi had a more interest cast of supporting characters, but Jondalar was less annoying in this book. The story is very similar to the story in book three, The Mammoth Hunters, where Ayla and Jondalar spent the bulk of the book with the Mamutoi people. Still, I’m giving the book four stars because there is a charm that Auel brings to her story and the characters are still a delight to spend time with. ![]() ![]() I wish I could say that this book takes a radically different turn and enters all new territory, but really it’s more of the same on a longer scale here. Along the way she shares stories about her adoption of a baby lion, being raised by the Clan, and living alone in a valley by herself for years. At first their skeptical of the way she talks, then as the natives become aware of her “control” over animals, her ability to heal, and her inventions (the fire stone and spear thrower) she wins over the community and is loved by all. Five books into this series, there’s gotten to be a routine whenever Ayla meets new people. Book five of the Earth’s Children series has Ayla and Jondalar finally reaching their destination of Jondalar’s people the Zelandonii. ![]()
