Ice-Age survival—with mammoth hunts, wolf-taming, and slow-burn romance. A deep dive into prehistoric life that’s more animal bond than modern hookup.
My Thoughts:
I didn’t expect to spend 25 hours of my life wrapped up in mammoth fur, dodging jealous lovers, and emotionally adopting a prehistoric wolf pup… but here we are.
This was a whole Ice Age vibe. Ayla is that girl — competent, strong, bonding with wild animals like she’s auditioning for Animal Planet. But when it comes to men? Whew. Let’s just say she handles a spear better than she handles her feelings for Jondalar. I wanted to shake her a little… then him a lot.
The romance is a slow burn. Like glacial. If you came for steam, this one simmers but never boils. You’ll stay for the world-building, though — the rituals, the mammoth hunts, the whole sense of being in a world where survival meant knowing when to throw a spear and when to bite your tongue.
I lived for the animals. The human drama? Less so. But I still found myself invested — grumbling, sighing, occasionally swooning, and definitely side-eyeing some
