review 1: What a wonderful introduction to Pre-Aztec culture. Not only did Zoe do her research well, you can also tell how much she loves that time and culture. What I liked best was how Zoe pointed out the differences, not only between the different pre-columbian cultures but also the difference between the different casts. How warriors looked down on traders and peasants and how hard it is for a warrior to learn that others may look down on his way of life also. But it also tells you what can be gained if prejudices can be overcome - and what can be lost if pride stands in your way to learn from others. And this is something that we can still learn from today.
review 2: I was truly impressed with Zoe Saadia's ability to bring an ancient world to life in such a vivid an
... mored exciting manner. She creates such an amazing and rich foreign landscape and I was seeing it through the eyes of her characters as they journeyed through the landscape of the past. I was really thrilled with the way her main characters' relationship was both familiar and modern and relevant. They were from two different worlds and with current globalization I found the characters were surprizingly relatable. I loved these characters and the journey that their relationship takes them. The ancient world came immediately to life and she brought these people into the flesh for me and I am so happy this is a series. At Road's End is just the beginning of an amazing and exciting world I had never even imagined existed. Two thumbs up Zoe! I could see this as a movie or a great mini series on HBO, because it is such a visual story as well as an adventure and a love story, not to mention thriller. I couldn't put this down and am on to the next installment. Aztecs Rule! less
