What can I say?  I was hooked on this series from book 1.  In book III, The Emperor's Second Wife, we see Coyotl's young sister,Iztac, grow and mature as a young woman, revealing not only her willful nature, but her strength and grasp of palace intrigue.  Our friends Kiuni, the Highlander and Coyotl, son of the Acolhua emperor of Texcoco, continue to intertwine themselves with the fierce Aztec warrior culture, all the while remaining true to their own destinies. The tale is peopled with characters of great depth, both men and women, who somehow manage to maintain their honor and integrity despite operating in a miasma of deception and treachery. The attention to historical detail is remarkable.Zoe has masterfully created yet another powerful and spellbinding tale that draws the reader onward toward The Currents of War, making the reader impatient to tackle the next book in this series. Impossible to put down!
