Once again, Jean Auel combines her brilliant narrative skills and appealing characters with a remarkable re-creation of the way life was lived thousands of years ago, rendering the terrain, dwelling places, longings, beliefs, creativity and daily lives of Ice Age Europeans as real to the reader as today's news.

The final book in The Earth's Children series by Ms. Auel is very well written and magnificently researched. My only down side is that it ended without Ayla, eventually, becoming the First Who Serves. I really wanted to read about that happening.

It has been a long and wonderful , though often dangerous journey for Ayla and in this beautifully written book her destiny is fulfilled.

Great end to the series
I am so glad that Auel did a good job ending the Earth's children series. Loved every book, and this one was no exception. She leaves the storyline open so she could add to it, but the reader is not left hanging and wondering what happened to the central characters. Defintely a must read book!

Earth's Children's Series.
Not sure why the author is taking so long to write these terrible books. I would not recommend reading this series past the Plains of Passage. I think she is suffering from dementia. She just repeats and repeats the same thing over and over. The Editor could've removed 300 pages in each of the last 2 books to at least make them a quicker less boring read. Nothing happens in this book it goes no where and nothing is revealed. I would not recommend this book to anyone. In fact just read the first ones and pretend they walked off happily into the sunset.
