Title: Jennings is still great...
Review: As the second book in the Aztec series, "Aztec Autumn" pales a little in comparison to the epic "Aztec". It is still very well researched, and it carries the story well in the early days of the Spanish conquest. It just isn't quite as engrossing as "Aztec". I still enjoyed Jennings's extremely well researched realism and the lead character in this book, Tenamaxtli, is still an interesting character. He just isn't Mixtli. That's probably the danger in creating a character as brilliant as Jennings did in the first book.I still recommend this book. I think it is much better read back to back with the first book in the series. Turning the last page of "Aztec" then opening the first page of "Aztec Autumn" is worth the price of the book.
