I've only read a lil, but it really did seem good. There's also a video called aztec, but probably not based on the book.

It was an ok book. There's many things I would've changed. I say about 50% accurate and sadly, one of the best fictional books about before the conquest. The sequels suck even more and have very little to no facts on history.

i dont think it meant to be 100% based on fact. its kinda like a forest gump type story the way mixtli affects certain events in history. for example forest gump created the smiley face, mixtli created the symbol on the mexican flag. its not fact, its just a fictional story. very well written and very detailed. u really feel like ur there.
