3.0

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
