This book alternates between continuing Ayla's story after she leaves the Clan and has to fend for herself and telling the story of Jondalar, who leaves his family on a Journey with his brother. I enjoyed moving back and forth between these two characters, despite the fact that they don't meet till the last third of the book. There was a lot of thought about domestication in this book (Ayla, through chance and her good-hearted nature, ends up with both a cave lion and a horse), as well as communication and language. I think I liked the first one better, but I'm definitely going to want to see what happens to Ayla and Jondalar next.
