How am I suppose to read this behemoth when my #cat won‘t move? #catsoflitsy #petsoflitsy
pickAbsolutely epic novel. Rich, detailed setting. Strong, flawed, lovable characters. The narrator is so brilliant and has such a distinct voice. Plot of the main character follows the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire. TW: rape, gore, mutilation. 5 out of 5 on GR. Highly, highly recommend. Will be reading more from this author.
pickThe ending made me sad, the colonization of a people that did not see disaster coming.
“But at the end of your life, no matter how crowded were its roads and its days, you will have learned what all must learn. And that will be too late for any starting over, too late for anything but regret. So learn it now. No man has ever lived out any life but one, and that one chosen is his own, most of that alone.”
pickI'm doing research for a book I've started on and stumbled across the book by #garyjennings. Aztec is such a well researched book. He really brings each scene to life with vivid detail. Warning: some of the scenes are gruesome! But then the book is about the Aztecs.
