I enjoyed the first book very much, but I actually liked this one even better.Tecpatl and Sakuna's story continues 15 years later, weaving in their son, Atolli, who is a spitting image of his father. These stories are so cool because you really feel like you are back in these pre-Aztec days and it is such a unique setting I find it fascinating even just to read about what these people eat. ;) I'm going to make some tortillas and honey for the next book...heheeheh...The story if filled with political intrigue and suspense, I kept turning pages because I wanted to see how it was going to work out w/the father & son pitted against each other and w/Sakuna as she delved into politics, and I found the romance between Atolli and the princess interesting and realistic. I guess that is what I like about this series, the realism and culture. It doesn't seem fake.Anyway, I really love the way the culture is woven through the story and I'm on my way to read the third book. I'm really hoping there is a continuation of Atolli's story.
