Title: A dissapointing book
Review: Aztec was one of the most entertaining and engaging books that I have read in the last few years. The story was gripping, the characters were somewhat believable, and it was a real page-turner. Aztec Autumn, on the other hand, was completely dissapointing and sort of felt like it had been strung together by a computer program which pulled out elements of Aztec and then strung heavy-handed plots around them. Very little in Aztec Autumn seemed surprising or inspiring, and the narrative voice did not capture my attention the way it did in the original. It's hard to tell if a sequel like this, actually written by the author, is worse than one of those sequels written after the author died, by some hopeful writer obsessed with making a quick buck. One of the things that was great about Aztec was that it told a finite life story, but this book just dragged the story on in an unoriginal manner.
