Summary

This odyssey into the distant past carries us back to the awesome mysteries of the exotic, primeval world of The Clan of the Cave Bear, and to Ayla, now grown into a beautiful and courageous young woman. Cruelly cast out by the new leader of the ancient Clan that adopted her as a child, Ayla leaves those she loves behind and travels alone through a stark, open land filled with dangerous animals but few people, searching for the Others, tall and fair like herself. Living with the Clan has taught Ayla many skills but not real hunting. She finally knows she can survive when she traps a horse, which gives her meat and a warm pelt for the winter, but fate has bestowed a greater gift, an orphaned foal with whom she develops a unique kinship. One winter extends to more; she discovers a way to make fire more quickly and a wounded cave lion cub joins her unusual family, but her beloved animals don't fulfill her restless need for human companionship. Then she hears the sound of a man screaming in pain. She saves tall, handsome Jondalar, who brings her a language to speak and an awakening of love and desire, but Ayla is torn between her fear of leaving her valley and her hope of living with her own kind. Second in the acclaimed Earth's Children® series

  • The narrator did an outstanding job, ensuring that the voices were clear and easy to comprehend. Overall, it was an excellent performance. Initially, the story had a promising start, but halfway through, it took a turn towards explicit content resembling cave man pornography. The graphic nature of the scenes was extremely distasteful, to the point of ruining the entire series for me.
  • This book felt like it took forever to get through, especially compared to the first one. The explicit scenes were a bit too detailed for my taste, almost like something out of a cheesy romance novel at times. However, I still found it to be a solid continuation of the story and I enjoyed it overall, especially considering how much I liked the first book.
  • The sequel to 'The Valley of Horses: Earth's Children, Book 2' left much to be desired. While there were a few chapters dedicated to introducing new characters and exploring their development, some parts felt repetitive with the first book's made-up innovations. Moreover, there was a heavy emphasis on teenage sexual tension, which became quite uncomfortable. As a result, I found myself skipping through certain sections towards the end of the book.
