H. Allenger’s “Ahuitzotl” has positive reviews on Goodreads

H. Allenger‘s Ahuitzotl: A Novel Of Aztec Mexico, has elicited positive responses from popular social cataloging website Goodreads.

The book is a compelling historical romance novel that tells the story of how the arrogant pride and an impassioned love of a woman bring the greatest of Aztec warrior-kings, Ahuitzotl, to his downfall.

The savage conqueror Ahuitzotl shapes the events that ultimately lead to his destruction. Proud and ambitious, the undefeated and charismatic warlord lets nothing in his way to stop his vainglorious goals. He resolves to depose the present monarch after being assured by the leader of the inter-clan council that he would be appointed as the successor. As a ruler, he has made a name for himself as an undisputed warlord by winning a series of conquests.

One reviewer remarks:

“The Aztecs aren’t commonly written in historical fiction, so this was a nice deviation from the norm. It’s frustrating to follow the main character on his continued journey of stubbornness and poor decision making. While a brilliant military strategist, he allows his vanity and emotions get the better of him, which leads to his eventual downfall.”

On an average, the book has scored 3.92 stars out of 5, meaning the book has earned mostly positive responses from readers.
