I love the original books I listened to the audio books when they first came out. I was a child and loved them my parents would buy them for me and I would have them when we went on holiday in the uk, so I have very fond memories, I think they are amazing the level of detail about the world and how humans would have lived thousand of years ago is fascinating its clear she did a lot of research, not only are they accurate but she also makes the character and story very fun, engaging and enjoyable. I am much older now and was so happy to find out she had written more in the series but sadly I listened to vipers daughter and it wasn't as good as the previous books and the reason in my opinion is because the writing style does not fit the age of the main character he has not been aged up, in the first book the main character is 12 and he still feel 12 in this book, even though he is supposed to be 17 if you hadn't of know he was 17 you would still believe him to be a little boy. I do not know whether I will read the last two books.
That is such a shame to hear. It must be very difficult for an author to re-visit a beloved series, as there will be such high expectations. I wonder sometimes if they would be better off leaving as is and developing the new stories in the universe they have created with fresh characters, with a nod to the originals for the fans.
So sorry to hear that, but very touched that my little attempt at making videos can bring a little bit of cheer. You have encouraged me to keep at it. I know how difficult it can be when a loved one is ill, so my thoughts are with you and your family, stay strong and take care.
They're AMAZING! I read the original series at least once a year. The three newer books are good, but, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I don't love them as much as the originals. I'd love to hear your thoughts when you've read them.
I am looking out for them, along with the rest of the Clan of the Cave Bear series. Have you read any other prehistoric fantasy novels that you would recommend? Julian May's "Saga of the Exiles" was set in the Pliocene era, but it's a very different type of fantasy/sci-fi. Highly recommend it, one of my all time favourite series and author.
