I liked the description of the conquest after "Mexico" a century later. The mix that resulted and the difficulty to exist despite being mestizo "boot" espagnole.Le main character of the novel is at the crossroads of blood. With all his fights, whatever the means employés.L'écriture Gary Jennings is very nice, sometimes truculent regarding the descriptive or frightening. However, I preferred the first two volumes, especially Azteca and Azteca Autumn. A good read anyway ...
