Wonderful and engrossing. This book reads like a Louis L'Amour western, but set in pre-Aztec times. I love Sakuna and gradually began to like Tecpatl as the book progressed. At first he was arrogant and close-minded, but always a hero. He risks his life for a people who did not appreciate them. Of course I enjoyed the love scenes. I only wished they were more detailed. Sakuna is a worthy heroine to follow to the other books. Her philosophy is quite modern and it is a shame that her peaceful people disappeared whereas crueler races prevailed.The action and fight scenes and wonderful description takes the reader back to a land that no longer exists. The characters were well-rounded, fighting their inner demons, while noble self-sacrificing. The love story had its moments of distrust sprinkled in to tug at the heart of a romantic reader. Altogether a superb story. I finished it in one sitting.
