This book has many flaws but for its world and culture-building I love it. The descriptions of the ceremonies stick out as highlights and the main characters (Ayla, Iza, Creb) are well developed so that I cared about them. I’m also a sucker for descriptions of herbalism and wilderness survival + stories driven by a mother’s love (beginning with Iza for Ayla).

I found this book extremely off-putting to read as it was essentially prehistoric soft p*rn. Ayla was extremely s*xualised. 

It’s saving grace was its novelty as a book set in prehistoric times which I enjoyed—it transported me to a different world and ultimately that’s what a good fantasy book does. 

The rest of it is not my cup of tea though

This book is indeed well written and takes you into another world fully. But boy is it a dark book. A lot of errors and obstacles. Way too dark for me. But still left me wanting to know what will happen next…

Top tier world building and information overload!! Once you get into the thralls of the story, it hooks you. 

The MC is a source of inspiration and courage. 😌🤌🏻

Don't let anyone, define who are you and set your limits.
