I would recommend this book to prudish or squeamish readers that can't handle the Aztec novels by Gary Jennings. The Peters does not even make note of human sacrifices while Jennings may give some people nightmares. Peters infuses a little too much European culture into the Incan society, in my opinion. My editorial deletions would have included his use of the terms, "My Lord" and "My Lady." I prefer Jennings use of first person narrative and his ability to give respect while still showing the faults in the Aztec culture. Peters idealizes the Incas but he did show how faulty politics led to their downfall. Social drama drives most of the book so people with limited patience in exploring relationships should be wary of this novel. Peters does capture the affect of the smallpox epidemic very well and I prefer his passages of sexual content to that of Jennings. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Daniel Peters has done a prodigious amount of work i reconstruction the history of one of the most interesting peoples inhabing the Americas, and one of the least known, the Incas of Peru. Using this knowledge brilliantly, he has written a beautiful, tragic, and heroic account of theri last years, from 1511 to 1530, when these superior Indians were overwhelmed y Spanish conquerors."
