Oh my, what did Kuini, Coyotl, Dehe, and Iztac get themselves into here? The series continues where it left off in book two and finds our character friends in the heart of the Aztec empire. Many summers have passed, and the author does a great job of maturing each one of them. As they have become older, the situations that they get into grow more complicated, which has allowed the story to evolve around the darker sides if each characters personalities.  The author does this very well, and in quite a shocking manner in some instances.The story flows so well that I had to pry my Kindle cover closed so that I may sleep or make my appointments. Her approach to the story...from the vivid and concise descriptions of the scene and surroundings, to the events unfolding and tangling the characters within the books happenings is done so masterfully.Ms. Saadia should be commended on her character and plot flexibility. One of her most central characters just didn't quite develop into a big role in the series so far, and she has done a great job in whisking the character aside to maintain the natural flow of the story. As a writer I know how hard this can be; you have your heart and mind set on "this is how it will be", only to sit down at the keyboard and realize it isn't working...do you fight against the current and try to force the issue, or gracefully let go and allow the current to take it away.Speaking of currents, I am greatly looking forward to reading the 4th and final book in this series, "Currents of War".
