This book made the anthropologist in me excited with really well done explorations of the paleolithic culture The story is interesting, well written and there is a great deal of creativity. There were just a few things that kept me really enjoying it, most of it being the last parts of the book. The  switching between Harry and Stella's voice/point of view, (1st person narrative) often felt like the same person talking, so a sense of independent voice was lost. The last few chapters felt rushed, and the book left me with the unwanted feeling of being unfinished or incomplete. Personally, I do not like books that leave everything completely hanging. Cliff hangars are one thing, but not resolving anything by the end is another. It felt like there were no personal resolutions,  no relationship resolutions and no plot resolutions. Yes, the author informs the reader that there is a sequel coming, but to me it felt like one book has been split in two in order to make a sequel.
