My Review

Very engaging story, giving lots of insight into who did what and why, the mechanisms of power, and the absolutely awful people the conquistadores were. I'm not sure why the author felt the need to talk about the archeology, which is actually quite uninteresting. But het spends 1/3 of the book on it. One point deduction for that. But it's skippable.
