The Land of Painted Caves

The main chunk of this story, where Ayla and Jondalar are at odds and no one is communicating, is maddening. It's like back in book 3, the long standoff between those two where they're both thinking things that would totally resolve themselves if they'd just talk to the other one, but they continue to not do so. Ugh. At least this book wrapped up the story and all.
