Self-sufficient cave girl defies clan norms in this immersive prehistoric saga — with 1980s vibes.
My Thoughts:
This is where it all begins — reindeer hides, clan drama, and a girl who’s clearly not built for quiet obedience.
Ayla was hard for me to connect to at first. She’s smart, she’s strong, but she feels a little distant — like we’re watching her through a sheet of Ice Age glass. That said, I admired the hell out of her perseverance. She never stopped trying, even when the odds (and the Clan’s traditions) were stacked against her.
The writing style is very 1980s — dramatic, descriptive, and more than a little cheesy at times. But it works. The setting is immersive, and the detail makes you feel like you could grab a reindeer hide and sew it into something fashionable while dodging Neanderthal expectations.
Relationship-wise… it’s complicated. Not necessarily romantic. Definitely not healthy. But it sets the stage for a saga more about survival and identity than anything else.
Final thoughts: A little dated, a little dense, but still a powerful opener. If you’re curious about the cave girl that launched a thousand sequels, this is the one to start with.
