Wish I hadn't bothered... again more long winded travelling chapters that don't really add much to the story. Some of the painted caves stuff was interesting but too repetitive and then we end with some out of character behaviour just to reach a crises for the story to resolve.
Should have stopped reading after the Mammoth Hunters.

Well, I've read the entire series up until this point. I CANNOT finish this one, its pretty terrible.

I just couldn't make it through this long-winded, boring book. I learned the ending by searching for spoilers online, and I don't regret not finishing the book. A disappointment.

750 pages of cringeworthy prose and stilted dialogue. Terrible.
I only stuck with it long enough to make it through the first sex scene, which was damn near 30% of the way through, and not at all worth it.
Also, I strongly doubt that early humans ever referred to midday as "noon." Among other anachronistic gaffes.

Should have stopped at book#5 (possibly #4). You can actually skip the first 2/3 of the book unless you are really, REALLY interested in cave painting descriptions.

Hmmm . . . very slow sometimes. As others have said, there was soooo much repetition. The cave scenes wouldn't have had to be so boring, but for all the detail she gave, nothing ever happened in the caves. The writing felt very unsophisticated, especially much of the dialogue. Book 3 picked up and was more interesting, but the end was pitiful.

sooooo boring. I finished it but just for the sense of completion of the series.

Los libros son muy repetitivos. Las descripciones de las cuevas son buenas, pero hace falta una ayuda visual o al menos que la autora refiera el sitio arqueológico que describe para permitir al lector investigar. La trama se torna inconsistente y tediosabal ser una especulacion, sobre todo en el aspecto moral y social que describe

Overall a very disappointing end to the series. Jean Auel still excels at describing the land her characters inhabit, but she seems to have lost the ability to flesh those characters out. Even her main characters have become as flat as cardboard. As for antagonists, they came across as nothing more than high school mean girls. I gave two stars because the descriptions of the cave paintings were quite good.

Yay for finishing the series! Though after reading six 700+ page books (listening to them on audiobook) I was hoping for a more dramatic ending to it all. I enjoyed the set, but there were a number of plot lines re-done in this 6th novel that seemed super recycled. Because they were, with only slight variations.
But it's done and I'm glad I did it.
