Having achieved the exalted position of a Chief Warlord, Tecpatl was content, happy with his career and his family. Even his refusal to take an additional wife, a necessary thing for a man of his status, especially if his woman was a barbarian imported from the distant lands of Anasazi, did nothing to hinder his progress up the Tepanec military ladder. He was too successful as a War Leader to care about the opinions of others.

Yet, when the old Emperor dies, leaving two dominant heirs to struggle for succession, Tecpatl suddenly finds it difficult to follow the edicts of the dead ruler. With Atolli, his elder son and a very promising but hotheaded youth, getting caught in the political turmoil, everything changes. Tecpatl is forced to choose between his duty and his family, while his wife takes her own non-traditional paths to deal with the crisis.

5,0 su 5 stelle Engrossing Mesoamerican early history
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 maggio 2015
Acquisto verificato
The Young Jaguar by Zoe Saadia is the first book in a pre-Aztec trilogy, and introduces us to Atolli, a teenager in the Tepenic Empire of Central America, whose father is Tecpatl, the Chief Warlord. Prior to the rise of the Aztec Empire, this Empire was strong and growing. Tecpatl's position is very high within the social structure and he is very content, having returned from a series of successful wars, and he loves his family. His wife, Sakuna, followed Tecpatl home when he warred in her native land of the Anasazis, and theirs is a deep and respectful love that has withstood the criticism of the Tepenic elite. Atolli is a hot-headed daredevil, who climbs the walls of the palace with the skill and cunning of a jaguar, just for fun.

The story begins when Atolli, his best friend Mecatl and some other adventurous boys from the warrior school that Atolli attends, roam the palace walls at night, drinking octli, a potent drink reserved for the warriors of the tribe. This is a serious transgression, but an adventure they have taken before. This time, they are discovered and chased and Atolli and Mecatl fall over the wall into one of the palace gardens. There they meet Chictli, the beautiful daughter of the second son of the Emperor, and Atolli is smitten.

His position as Tecpatl's son saves him from serious punishment, but he has to vow to support Chictli's father in the future as one of his warriors. At the same time, the Emperor dies, making Tecpatl vow to support his first son as the new Emperor, thus putting him at odds not only with his son, but much of the Tepenic elite. Tecpatl is thus forced to choose between his duty to the new Emperor and his family, which ultimately puts them all in danger. Sakuna uses her skill with herbs and healing to deal with the crisis.

I become completely immersed in Zoe Saadia's historical novels. The characters come alive; because of her detailed research on everything involved in tribal life - customs, food, clothing , jewelry - the reader feels like they are there, amidst the action. Family dynamics, especially in this book, are very recognizable, even though the tribal dynamics are complex. Zoe makes it clear that people haven't changed much over the centuries: they are greedy, power-hungry, loving, driven, devious, envious, bored and frustrated. These emotions fuel this story.

I highly recommend this book to any lover of historical fiction but more widely to any reader who likes a barn burner of a story with great characters and lots of action. What's even better is that you can follow Atolli on his journey to adulthood through the next book in the series, The Jaguar Warrior.

4,0 su 5 stelle Good, but Could Easily Have Been Outstanding

"The Young Jaguar" held my attention, but pulls up a little short of being the page-turner it could easily be. It surprised me in being more of a beautiful love story than a work of historical fiction. The romance is well-done and thoroughly enjoyable. The book is worth the read for that aspect alone, but I would have given it another star, if the historical fiction aspect had been handled as well. Even just an appendix explaining the many pre-Aztec terms would be a great addition and add significantly to the value of the book. If you're not knowledgeable in Pre-Aztec history, you'll need to spend a lot of time studying to get the maximum benefit from reading this book. It is obvious that the author has the necessary knowledge, and I hope for a second addition containing more information.

3,0 su 5 stelle Youthful Adventure in a very dangerous world.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 maggio 2013

I was not sure I wanted to read this book after reading the first in this series "At Roads End" but after reading another not in this series, namely The Highlander, I began to appreciate Saadia's writing style and her ability to weave an entertaining story. I would recommend this author when you really feel like a quick read to get away from more difficult reading. This is about a four hour read, and I am not a speed reader. It is a great read for a long flight. The author puts this into an interesting period of Meso American and though I have read WH Prescott's The Conquest of Mexico, I can not truly say that the history is correct though many of the locations will be familiar to readers of Prescott. I did order her newest novel "The Fall of the Empire" and will read it when I need to escape from heavier reading. I will let all know when I read it what my thoughts are.

5,0 su 5 stelle Exciting historical political drama
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 12 agosto 2012
Acquisto verificato
This book is set in a different part of the Americas to the previous book in the series, and is set 15 years after the previous book. The same two strong central characters remain, however, along with a varied and diverse supporting cast, introducing the exciting and enticing political machinations taking place in the various empires and states centred in and around the valley of Mexico. I flew through this book, desperate to find out if certain characters would win or lose. I cannot wait to begin the next one in the series!
