Great book but not the right narrator

Overall love the story

As always an excessive use of drawn out detail and scene setting, but hey, she certainly did her homework!

The sex scenes get a bit tired too.

During many a waffling ramble I found myself wondering how long the book might actually be if you edited these parts out?

I think the narrator used for this series really isn't the right one. Her accent and the way she reads really feels at odds with the content for me. It changes my sense of the characters, which is distracting and kinda annoying

mostly well read

Dear producer ... do you just det a teader behind a microphone and say..."go do it", or do you pop in occasionally. You have missed several misplaced emphases wihch spoil an otherwise good read.

Adventure filled continuation of Ayla and Jondalar

Another great narration by Rowena Cooper. Ayla and Jondalar set off on their journey back to Jondalar's home. The journey is chock-full of interesting encounters and challenges for the couple. Much better than book 3!

Loved it!! Couldn't find enough opportunities to plug in and listen!! if it was in book form I would have dragged it around everywhere!!
luckily, with Audible, I could take it everywhere on my phone, listen in the car, bus, train, bath tub, walking the dog!! Any Excuse Lol :)

Travel ice age style

This book, together with book’s one and two, are definitely the pick of the bunch. The unbearable drama of book three is thankfully missing. I love her descriptions of the land they are travelling through and the sense of finality after each farewell. The ‘three sisters’ section is interesting but I love all the meetings between the various societies. People complain that Auel repeats herself a lot, and she does, but in the audible version it doesn’t annoy me so much. I only wish jondalar was a hero worthy of Ayla. He isn’t. Unfortunately.

Beautifully descriptive.

I really enjoyed this book. After the punish of book 3, Jean redeems herself with this one. Enjoyable and hard to put down, I will definitely continue with this series.

My 3rd favourite

I’m currently reliving the whole series before I get on to the final book. Consistency/editing issues bugged me when I first read these books but more so when you listen to them back to back. Now I’m on to the 5th book (my least favourite) before finally getting to the 6th.

Repetitive but still a good listen

I do enjoy these books but I think the repetitiveness really started to frustrate me in this book.
Do these characters have nothing else to say to each other that they just repeat their backgrounds to each other?
At first I thought that she was trying to make each book a stand alone and had to reiterate each book many times, but it just kept happening. I know it’s a long book but I didn’t forget I promise
I did enjoy it though despite that
