A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Absolutely loved it
Revisado: 02-11-25
I came across this title after a random comment on Reddit and absolutely loved it. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re kinda a dirtbag on the inside like me, this will be for you. Can’t wait to get through the whole series.

For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexico and the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of the Spanish victors. Miguel León-Portilla has long been at the forefront of expanding that history to include the voices of indigenous peoples. In this new and updated edition of his classic The Broken Spears, León-Portilla has included accounts from native Aztec descendants across the centuries.

Great except for pronunciation of Nahuatl words
Revisado: 04-02-19
Would definitely recommend giving it a listen. I really liked it, except for the narrator’s pronunciation of Nahuatl words. I cringed every time he said “Mexica” or incorrectly pronounced the -tl sound. Besides that, it was great. Even with that flaw, I’d recommend it.

The Aztecs believed offerings of human blood and human lives were necessary to the continued running of the universe. Indeed, in Aztec myths, the gods themselves make sacrifices of their own blood and even of their entire bodies in order to create a universe humans can live in and, in one story, to create humans themselves. To the ancient Aztecs, these practices seemed fitting, necessary, and honorable, helping to connect the world of humans to the divine world of the gods, a universe that in Aztec myth took shape in cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

Great stories, horrible delivery

Great stories, horrible delivery
Revisado: 03-13-19
I liked learning more about the myths of my ancestors. This book has some great stories that I will be able to pass down to my kids to keep our heritage alive. I think it’s important to know about our roots and embrace the rich cultural history we have. I’d definitely recommend it for that reason.
The narrator does an absolutely terrible job at pronouncing even some of the most basic Nahuatl words and names. This is painfully obviously read by someone who has no familiarity with our culture and it devastated the delivery of these great stories. This should have been read by someone who has a deep connection to the stories and at least a basic understanding of the language.
In all, I’d recommend it for a listen. Just assume that each and every Nahuatl word is pronounced incorrectly. Really, it would be better if you read it on your own and learned how to pronounce the words properly.

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

this book was very interesting and in some cases can be applied to our "freedom" today.

Gary Jennings' exciting sequel to his best selling Aztec, vividly recreates a forgotten chapter of history. One generation after his people were brutally conquered and forced into subordination by the Spaniards, a proud young Aztec named Tenamáxtli courageously refuses to bow to his foreign rulers. Instead, driven by his dream to rebuild the Aztec Empire, Tenamáxtli secretly recruits an army to fight the seemingly invincible Spanish forces.

I read some negative reviews on here and was a little concerned. I read the first book twice and wanted to enjoy this one as well.
I thought it was excellent. I liked the reader, and the story. hopefully someone does the first book, I'd like to hear that.
