You Dreamed of Empires

adventurous
funny

reflective
tense
slow-paced
What a treat! At first I had to get into the rhythm of the proceedings but once it clicked, I was all in. I loved the blend of humor in this historical retelling, reimagining. I loved the breaking of the fourth wall, I loved certain stand-alone chapters, and I loved a music cue just dropping in from the future. Somewhat occurring at a breakneck speed, at times I could feel the swoosh as wind on the back of my neck as the narrative zoomed in on characters moving about the veritable game board of Tenoxtitlan. All the words were just really fun, y'know?
