I think every book of hers post Valley of Horses has made it here now.

Does it make me a bad person to admit I'm eagerly awaiting the final instalment just for the lulz?

It was pretty amazing.

I still can't get over the fact that she repeated the hymn to the Goddess three times in entirety. It's horrible poetry by any standard! It didn't need to be quoted in entirety once, let alone three times!

If there's one thing that this linking back to my sex scene post has done, it's made me clean up that dangling tag that's been there for nigh onto seven years. Clean code is good code.

But your sex scene post is so good as it IS. :D

And yeah, I was thinking of mentioning the poem too, but then I realized my review was about to become guilty of what Auel was guilty of and getting way too long and detailed.

Your icon is sheer brilliance.

I know! I'm so lucky to have found it--whoever made it is a genius. :)

I can't believe they're still not married, lol. Man I loved Clan of the Cave Bear as a kid.

That's addressed near the end of the book, to be fair.

Ah OK. I read up to The Plains of Passage. I was waaaay too young to be reading those books, heh. I used to carry around a 'medicine pouch' and everything, haha.
