Status Updates From The Mammoth Hunters (Earth'...

Ayla planning to experiment with a Clan root to reach the spirit world on the next summer meeting is an occasion I want to attend.

Fralie's birth scene nearly brought me to tears, you really learn to care about the people of the Mamutoi once you spend an entire winter with them. This novel is ripe with possibilities for Ayla - staying with the Mamutoi and starting a family with Ranec, following Jonadalar back to the Zelandonii, going to the Clan summer gathering and fetching Durc - all the while still functioning as an encyclopedia for the time.

Ayla toying with the idea of going to the clan summer gathering and fetching Dirk to live with her and the Mamutoi sounds infinitly like something I'd love to read!

I love how the manners of the Mamutoi are explored and compared to the Clan's. And her previous lesson in writing(?) with Mamut. And how Mamut has spent some time with Kreb and Issa's mothet (or grandmother?) While on his journey as a young man, and got to learn their ways. Also, there's a feeling in the air we're etching closer to discover Ayla's birth people.
