“Let me warn anyone who is getting ready to read this book that the first hundred pages are difficult, but the pages that follow make plowing through the first part worth while. Jennings includes the history, myths, legends, culture, etc. of the Aztecs in this novel, which is well-researched. The writing style is also very good--time and again, characters resurface and events build on each other. It is an excellent book.”

“Great historical fiction on the Aztec nation. In the spirit of Michener's Texas.

Have to get through some graphic sexual content, but the historical accuracy is awesome.”

The details are unique and flavorful to the culture and values expressed in this book, and man, was there just so many parts to it that really felt like you were following the main character's like upon introduction to the very end. If you want something with a good amount of substance to it, I would suggest reading this.”
