They got back to Jondalar's tribe at the very end of the fourth book, and then went through more relationship crap in the fifth. It was just a retread of the third book, IMO, and I really really hated it. So much so that, after buying the hardcover the day it came out while I was working at Waldenbooks and reading it while I was waiting for my mom to finish an outpatient surgery procedure, I returned it the next day. I never return books, ever. And then, when I was working at the bookstore, if a customer asked for my opinion of the book, I'd give it honestly, but only if they asked me first. I usually recommended that they wait until it came out in paperback if they had to buy it at all.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Is Jondalar still deep dicking Ayla with his majestic schlong?
Oh god, I just choked on my tea.
I never read those books. Even for the sex.

Even for the sex.
That's the only reason to read them. My mother didn't realize I was reading porn in plain sight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My go to "You don't know I'm reading porn right now" as a kid was a sci fi series with a lizard race with bifurcated peen. It was raunchy, but I have no idea how to google it again. Though Cave Bear was a very close second.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I heard in middle school that Clan of the Cave Bear was porny, so I read it and felt VERY VERY CHEATED because 90% of the first book is exposition. All the porn is in book 2.
