The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel
3.0
I loved Ayla and Jondalar's story. However, I found a few frustrating things with the last book.
Spoilers ahead

....
I already knew Auel repeats herself...a lot. So, that didn't surprise me. What surprised me is that Jondalar was not loyal to Ayla after all these years of her being loyal to him. Yes, she was busy with training, but all he had to do was ask. This was very frustrating that it was such a large part of the last book. When the opposite happened in the 2nd book.
I wished we new more of what happens to them after this last book. We don't know if they conceive again. Probably. If they keep the horses. Probably. But none of that is even hinted at. Auel just repeats what we already know about conception and that they're relationship is good again. Not where their relationship is going...
Very frustrating for the end of a very long series. I needed it tied up into a bow a little bit better. So that I would have closure as a reader.
