Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs by Camilla Townsend

dark informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

This was a super informative read, addressing a common fallacy in Mexica history that I'd never questioned.  It's a surprisingly even-handed exploration of the culture that dominated what is now Latin America and the nuances of how the Mexica viewed the colonial apocalypse.  

Definitely a game-changer although I do think it could have been edited a little better.
