- That's a lot of pressure and she does experience a panic attack and we are reminded that even though she's seen as practically a wonder woman to the Mamutoi with her skill of invention, healing, hunting and horse riding - this is a young woman, barely seventeen, who has only ever experienced alienation and was being ridiculed by the only family she knew thus far. -

Jondalar's dark past is revealed - apparently falling in love with his Daani woman (basically a holy man- maker) and thus committing a faux pas.
Ayla is getting ready for her adoption ceremony by the Mamutoi is so exciting, even though it's bittersweet because she wouldn't venture too far away from her newly found people but Jondalar is keen on getting back to his people, the Zelandaani. -

I love how the author geeks out on geology and prehostoric climate and rock formation, flora and fauna, for us to get a National Geographic vibe out of it.

Any scene with Rydak is so joyful!
