I was not sure I wanted to read this book after reading the first in this series "At Roads End" but after reading another not in this series, namely The Highlander, I began to appreciate Saadia's writing style and her ability to weave an entertaining story.  I would recommend this author when you really feel like a quick read to get away from more difficult reading.  This is about a four hour read, and I am not a speed reader. It is a great read for a long flight. The author puts this into an interesting period of Meso American and though I have read WH Prescott's The Conquest of Mexico, I can not truly say that the history is correct though many of the locations will be familiar to readers of Prescott.  I did order her newest novel "The Fall of the Empire" and will read it when I need to escape from heavier reading. I will let all know when I read it what my thoughts are.
