Title: If I have to read Wolf's introduction ONE MORE TIME....
Review: This is the culmination of the degeneration of a great idea and a great character (Ayla). I read the entire Earth's Children series last year, one after the other, and I didn't even make it halfway through this last one. It was utterly useless plot and boring self introductions. She should have just ended the series with them making it back to Jondalar's home... what a pity.I also didn't care for the last half of the series (starting with the last part of Valley of the Horses after Ayla met Jondalar) because it became disgustingly obvious that Auel was living out her sex fantasies through Ayla with Jondalar as her ideal man. This happens way too much, and makes me ashamed of women authors who otherwise have great epic historical fiction plots and ideas.Yes, sex a part of people's lives in all times and places, but when it starts to absorb the plot and characters it just isn't fun to read anymore.
