Focusing less on the elite and more on the common people without losing the characters of her previous Rise of the Aztecs series, The Fall of the Empire introduces two new and compelling characters, Etl the trader and Tlali, the object of his affections. One learns, however, that these two are anything but "common," or, perhaps that the sense of nobility and revenge are not confined to the elite.  Once again, set against a vista based on historical fact, Zoe Saadia treats us to her unique ability to at once tell a terrific story and make it seem as if the reader is right there with the characters.  If you haven't read her Rise of the Aztecs series, by all means do. It is time well spent and an adventure you won't soon forget!
