But I almost want to go back to all the previous books and bump up the ratings by a star or two (YES, a star or TWO). I've done my raging about this series it's been a ridiculous, over the top, barely concealed Mary Sue fanfiction-y ride.
Or rage about the number of books that were rejected to make room on the bookseller list for THIS. Or cry thinking about how many trees this piece of sh!t destroyed on its route to the bookstore. I don't know whether I should be p!ssed that I spent all this time listening to the book equivalent of a 90's clip show or I should laugh my off at the ridiculous joke of this being published. So don't bother even READING the previous four books at some point in this book, Ayla or Jondalar will tell you it. Oh, yeah, and EVERY SINGLE STORY FROM THE LAST BOOK IS REPRINTED. Everyone loves Ayla Ayla and Jondalar tie the knot Ayla gives birth to the hellspawn and somehow her name sounds better than Twilight's Renesmee-but only just barely. Summary: Ayla and Jondalar return to his home. Switching the novel with this fan fiction? Brilliant joke! You got me. And it includes an amazing rhythmic poem that describes the birth of Earth’s Children and plays its own role in the narrative of The Shelters of Stone. It is a triumphant continuation of the Earth’s Children® saga that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear. The Shelters of Stone is a sweeping story of love and danger, with all the wonderful detail-based on meticulous research- that makes her novels unique. Jean Auel is at her very best in this superbly textured creation of a prehistoric society. Ayla has to call on all her skills, intelligence, knowledge, and instincts to find her way in this complicated society, to prepare for the birth of her child, and to decide whether she will accept new challenges and play a significant role in the destiny of the Zelandonii. Some even oppose her mating with Jondalar, and make their displeasure known. Some fear Ayla’s unfamiliar ways and abhor her relationship with those they call flatheads and she calls Clan.
And in the woman Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of the Ninth Cave (and the one who initiated Jondalar into the Gift of Pleasure), she meets a fellow healer with whom to share her knowledge and skills.īut as Ayla and Jondalar prepare for the formal mating at the Summer Meeting, there are difficulties. Their clothes, customs, artifacts, even their homes-formed in great cliffs of vertical limestone-are a source of wonder to her. The people of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii fascinate Ayla. The Shelters of Stone opens as Ayla and Jondalar, along with their animal friends, Wolf, Whinney, and Racer, complete their epic journey across Europe and are greeted by Jondalar’s people: the Zelandonii.
