Just messy, editing wise. Tons of misspelled words, especially names, poor or confusing sentence structure, etc. The history is interesting, but the pre-colonial section is miles better than the colonial and post-colonial - I'd say read this up until it starts talking about Hernan Cortes, then jump ship.

An interesting and empathetic history of a too unexplored topic of nonfiction authors. A solid, enjoyably narrated read that's both educational and connecting. I'd recommend purely for the scarcity of books on central American history aimed at a general audience - it was a rare and enjoyable find in the Audible catalog

Great book. Excellently pieced together and easy to follow for someone who has not read tons of non-fiction
