A prehistoric fantasy—with allusions to Pride and Prejudice.
Hunting, gathering, and keeping his family safe—that’s the life seventeen-year-old Kol knows. Then bold, enigmatic Mya arrives from the south with her family, and Kol is captivated. He wants her to like and trust him, but any hopes of impressing her are ruined when he makes a careless—and nearly grave—mistake. However, there’s something more to Mya’s cool disdain…a history wrought with loss that comes to light when another clan arrives. With them is Lo, an enemy from Mya’s past who Mya swears has ulterior motives.
As Kol gets to know Lo, tensions between Mya and Lo escalate until violence erupts. Faced with shattering losses, Kol is forced to question every person he’s trusted. One thing is for sure: this was a war that Mya or Lo—Kol doesn’t know which—had been planning all along.

Romantic and authentic prehistoric fantasy.
I LOVE Kol and Mya so much. I love them as individuals, I love them as a couple. I cannot WAIT to see their future together. (Even though the summary of book 2 makes me want to pretend the series ended with this book...) I even love Kol and Mya's families, and how distinct everyone was. The characters really shine in this book, and I won't be quick to forget them.
Ivory and Bone has a world that's built so richly and beautifully, I was immersed fully in the setting. The attention to detail is just stunning.
This book is slow and careful and full of tension. It has a great villain - who's just a a girl! - and the obstacles between Kol and Mya were well done, even if they drove me mad (just say what you mean, idiots!) If you're looking for a plot heavy book, though, this may not be for you. Lovers of thoughtful, tender books should fall in love with Ivory and Bone, though.
