The third book in the Bonesetter series, a prehistorical account of Pell, a boy in a primitive society who learns to "set bones".

In this third story, he’s become the de facto leader of the Cold Springs tribe, though he still resists the mantle. The tale follows his invention of such things as the spear-thrower, chimney, and the beginnings of agriculture - things that will markedly improve the lives of his fellow humans. He and Gia mate, and, in hopes of finding more lost members of Gia’s former tribe, set out to travel the great river to the sea. Despite the awe his ideas engender in those around him, he remains humble and commits himself to helping those in need - even the ones he doesn’t like.

Slightly darker premise than the previous books in the series it still has that enjoyable and interesting world building you get in the earlier books.

Great book

Although the author gives the main character a lot of inventions that would have been developed over time by many people, the series is engaging. The relationships between people and between the people and wolves are a bit surface-level, but the story draws a great picture of hunter gatherer life. The voice of the narrator I find more and more annoying, to the point where I can’t relisten as it’s so irritating. He sounds smug and affected.
