Review: Not your typical love story

The story of Tecpatl and Sakuna was one that truly surprised me with its depth of history and realism, while still giving the reader a love story.I found that at first, Tecpatl was not the hero I wanted him to be, but I quickly realized that it was his love for Sakuna that was helping him be a better man. The difference in the two cultures, the castes and the hierarchy were for me, what ultimately made this books five stars. Tecpatl was a warrior who had been raised with certain predjudices that weren't dropped because he was interested in Sakuna. And she didn't give up her beliefs becuase he tried to sway her to his way of thinking. In other words, it was a real relationship that had its bumps in the road.The action scenes were fabulous, the details of the weaponry and style of fighting shows just how much time and effort have been put into the research for this book. Very well done!
