The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico by Miguel León-Portilla

3.0

Good book! A straightforward and poetic telling. Sometimes I found it hard to emotionally latch onto anything, but I imagine that's a common thread in history books. I struggled to truly feel the context of everything, but I finished the book feeling like I had a new understanding of this event. Certainly an essential read for Mexicans/Spaniards, as well as those interested in Mexican history.

In case anyone cares, I'd actually give this 3.5 stars but you can't do that on goodreads, so I'm telling you here. 3.5 stars, yay, 3.5!!!!
