![]() ![]() ![]() She goes on and on and on and on about painted mammoths, horses, cave bears and red dots. Ayla visits one painted cave after the other and in every single one of them, we get details of the layout of the cave as well as details of all the paintings in the cave. So what makes this book so bad? First of, it’s extremely boring. I really don’t know what more to say about it as nothing much really happens. The plot is divided into three separate parts with jumps in time between each. ![]() There’s an earth quake and as always, Ayla does amazing things. This final book in the series details Ayla’s training to become a Zelandonia, her Donier tour and relationship issues with Jondalar as well as Ayla being Called to become a Zelandonia. The Land of Painted Caves takes what started as an excellent and fascinating series about a young Cro-Magnon girl who is adopted by Neanderthals, later forced out, finding her own way in the world, falling in love and being accepted by other Cro-Magnon people – it takes all this promising material and brings it to an extremely bad finish that throws such a bad light back upon the rest of the series that I’m not sure I will ever read any of these books again, even though I really liked the first three ( The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of the Horses and The Mammoth Hunters). And – really, I’m not sure how to put this but – this was bad. I’ve finally finished the entire Earth’s Children series. ![]()
