Cast out of the Clan that is all she has ever known, Ayla, a Cro-Magnon woman raised by Neanderthals, ventures forth alone into a strange world. Resourceful and inventive, Ayla is able to craft a comfortable life for herself, but her loneliness and longing for the family she once knew is almost unbearable. As the harsh winter turns to spring, into Ayla's valley comes a new group of people with faces like her own, and to whom the peculiarities that once set her apart are accepted and celebrated. Among them, Ayla may find a second home and a first love.

Review of 'The Valley of Horses' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

I still like the plot and setting, but to me, this book dragged on a little more than necessary. I know everything that happened had to happen, but I think all that could've been said in less pages. Then again, maybe some like the elaborate descriptions of hunting and tool making. Granted, it is interesting. Even the romancey fluffy parts weren't bad. I think I will read the next book in the series, but I'll probably come back to it.
