It was okay - an incredibly quick read at least.
It feels like the author did a lot of research and merely discussed historical events as they happened through the eyes of a pair of Jewish siblings who, in addition to the dangers of the expedition, faced the threat of the Inquisition and exposure. Otherwise, the plot was pretty thin and the portrayal the indigenous population felt two-dimensional. The abrupt ending, which left Hutia in servitude with some foolish notion of a happily-ever-after was horrible.
