Aztec Autumn

Rating:
Summary: Well Researched Historical Novel
Review: The plot is a bit of a disappointment, especially the *very* unlikely coincidences, but the research into Mexico's history and the telling of the tale of colonization from the aboriginal inhabitants' perspective makes this novel well worth the effort to read it.

Summary: I'm starting to hate the Spanish....
Review: Well, the Spanish Conquerers of Old anyway.
Another great book by Gary Jennings, and though it did not grip me as much as Aztec did, I did really enjoy it.
In the second installment of the Aztec series, Jennings follows Mixtli's son thru the now almost conquered Aztec empire, and although we all know the outcome of that I still deep down kept wishing that Tenamixtli somehow would magically change history and kick those spanish conquerers out of what is now Mexico.
In typical Jennings style the book is at times extremely violent and sexually graphic, but is very well written and researched. If you loved Aztec, you'll enjoy this one as well.
