Welcome to Litsy!

#hyggehourreadathon Working on Aztec for the hour; catching up on some TV while I read

How am I suppose to read this behemoth when my #cat won‘t move? #catsoflitsy #petsoflitsy

Starting this #behemoth

Absolutely 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.

So incredibly epic. The story of the life of one man growing up in the Aztec Empire, starting in the middle class and through intelligence and luck making his fate. Beautiful prose. Wonderful characters. Surprising twists. Can‘t wait to finish!

Found and pick this up at my local library, after working this Holiday Shopping Weekend I‘m ready to drive into an Ancient Civilization

“In otin ihuan in tonáltin nican tzonquíca
Here end the road and the days”
A borrow from the Roomie.

‪“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.”

I'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.
