Non c'è dubbio che il ritmo veloce del romanzo e l'ambientazione lo rendano una lettura facile e coinvolgente, ma è difficile giudicare il libro senza tenere conto del genocidio perpetrato dai conquistatori, a cui Inés rimprovera la violenza, ma che non condanna perché giustificato dall'evangelizzazione.
Vero, il romanzo è una biografia di Inés e in quanto tale non può sconvolgere la persona reale, ma è pur sempre calato in un mezzo di finzione e in quanto tale avrebbe potuto trasmettere un messaggio di condanna più forte.
