A very interesting book. It was great to imagine how they lived in that period of time. I listened to the audio version, which l'm not a big fan of but it was well done and entertaining. Great story and characters.
I was about 15 when I first read this book, and I remember thinking ‘wow, I want to be as strong and independent as Ayla'. I think she is generally a much better role model for young women then Bella from Twilight. But maybe I am just getting old....
Read it again just to be sure.
Book was ok. Found myself struggling to get through parts of it. I most likely will not venture on to the rest of the books in this series.
