I can't possibly say enough how much I loved this book. Ms. Saadia does a wonderful job of infusing warmth into her characters, managing to help her readers connect with each one on a personal level that adds to the enjoyment of the read. I was fascinated and appalled in turn as I waited with baited breath to find out what would happen to Etl, Tlalli, and Tlacaelel as the book progressed. I became so fond of each of them that I found myself terribly torn as to what outcome to hope for. Tlalli is so brave and strong in her hidden quest. Etl is so steady and sure of what is right. Tlacaelel is so impressive in his strength and leadership. These, as well as some lesser (and dare I say favorite?)characters, all added together make up a fabulous read filled with adventure, action, and romance. As one mighty empire falls, you are actually able to imagine how the people living in that time may have felt as these events in history took place. Good job, Zoe, my hat comes off to you, yet again.
