Review: High Praise For The Highlander
Rating: 5 out of 5

I just finished reading Zoe Saadia's The Highlander (The Rise of The Aztecs Series, book 1). It is such a wonderful blend of history and fiction. I was totally absorbed in her two young characters Kuini and Coyotl, and the friendship they forged, in spite of the fact that they were supposed to be enemies. For me, there was a strong message for today, that transcends the historical background of her story. Her introduction of the young female Iztac-Ayotl, makes this as compelling a love between two young people as any in contemporary society. I look forward to reading all the books in this series, to see where their adventures lead. Kudos to Ms Saadia for bringing a strong message of hope in our own time and weaving it with almost poetic precision via these entertaining characters. Kudos Ms Saadia for your provoking dance through Mesoamerica.
