The rest of this series is so intelligent, and interesting, with parts anthropology meeting fantasy, Whenever Jandalar is present, the whole thing turns into a bad romance novel. The only other person she’s met like herself is Jandalar, who was everything I disliked about the second book in the series and is once again the worst part of this book as well.

While that shouldn’t require an adjustment, the nature vs nurture elements leads to a very interesting question: is Ayla happier with the neanderthal’s who raised her or the cro-magnon’s that are like herself? Whereas in book one, Ayla is taken in by a group of Clan (neanderthal people), here she meets a group of individuals who look like herself (cro-magnon). On the positive side, Ayla is once again forced to acclimate herself with a group of people who have different customs than herself. The Mammoth Hunters (Earth’s Children: Book 3)īook three of the Earth’s Children series took everything I liked about the first book and also what I didn’t like about the 2nd book and put it all together.
