This book seemed like an Advanced Reader's Copy or like a first draft. It needs considerable revision. There is poor sentence structure and poor grammar in quite a few places. Another aspect that needs work is with characterization. Some of the main characters don't act in any consistent manner. Some of their actions are way too improbable, based on their previous attitudes and actions. Overall, the book has an interesting story line and it takes place in an interesting time. However, I have no interest in reading any more books by this author. ( )

New author for me. I enjoyed this book and will be looking for the others in this series. The Young Jaguar seems to be based on the Aztec time. It was interesting to get drawn into that time period. I am not too familiar with it but now I want to learn more.

The way they lived back then is one that is hard to picture but fascinating at the same time. The Young Jaguar is a story of a boy of the Chief Warlord. He is able to climb in and out of buildings without getting caught, or at least not right away.

His mother is one that most think of being a barbarian. I loved her the most. Sakuna was her name. She was my favorite even if I got annoyed with her. ( )
