review 1: I picked this up about the same time as I got Apache. When I started reading it I didn't really want to. I wanted to read a mermaid book I have. I'm so glad I read this, it was so good. Easy to read, beautifully written and I didn't know where the story would go next. I thought the gods and culture were really interesting and I could tell that Tanya Landman had done a lot of research into it. The characters were interesting and I liked the main character a lot. Although I couldn't pronounce the names of places, gods or people. I could see the similarities to Apache but I liked that, I liked that she wasn't any good at the things that women in her society did but had amazing skill as a goldsmith. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to enjoy a good s... moretory.
review 2: "When I slid into this world, my tiny body gliding wetly across the floor of my father's house like a fish plucked from the lake, I was pronounced dead." How can you not read on?...Somewhat stark and graphic. An Aztec girl is swept up in Cortés's plundering of the magnificent city of Tenochtitlán. While we get a reading of the clash of two religions that privileges the Aztecs, ultimately the narrator rejects all religion and society. Oh, and there's romance. less
