Currents of War by Zoe Saadia is the fourth book of The Rise of the Aztecs Series and is an awesome historical novel of the Mesoamerican history of Mexico.
The storyline continues the tale of our heroes as their life and times are rapidly changing. It builds on the foundation already established in the first three novels and flows seamlessly as the adventure continues.
The intrigue and adventure that fill the characters’ lives will keep you on the edge of your seat. From plots and schemes of the royal court to the lives of the families you will want more. I could not put this book down.
It is obvious from the detail and accuracy of the historical data that the author did her research and stayed true to the history of this great civilization.
I love the way Zoe Saadia has developed each of the main characters into strong adults. She has instilled each of her characters with their own unique personality which is easy to identify with and follow.
I really enjoyed reading Currents of War by Zoe Saadia and I highly recommend it to all readers.

I enjoy reading a good historical novel and the The Highlander (Book 1: The Rise of the Aztecs Series) by Zoe Saadia is just such a book. Once I started reading it I had trouble putting it down and found myself totally engrossed in the story.

The author did a great job of developing the storyline. She laid her story foundation and then built upon each layer, adding to the suspense and action as she went. It was easy to follow the various plots and get involved with the in story as an unseen character. I love when an author is able to make me feel like I am there.

Each character was well developed and easy to believe in. It was easy to identify with each of the characters and cheer for each side in the story as it developed. Again, I like being able to place myself into the story and Zoe Saadia’s writing style allowed me to do just that.

I really enjoyed reading The Highlander by Zoe Saadia and I highly recommend this book.

“Masks of the Lost Kings” by Tom Bane is a fast paced action adventure that kept me on the edge of my sit waiting to see what would happen next. Dealing with the belief/religions of the past and archeological sites in Egypt, Israel, and Mexico it provided for a great adventure and tied in a lot of historical facts to give the story realism.

I really enjoyed the characters and I was able to identify with them. I could put myself into the story. The lead character was very believable, not one of the superhero types you often find in this genre. The storyline was easy to follow but kept me guessing what was going to happen next. The author did an excellent job developing both the storyline and the characters.

I highly recommend “Masks of the Lost Kings” by Tom Bane for all ages.
