You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue

adventurous mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
The Nahuatl names, and many AKAs, made characters a little difficult for me to track. At the same time the visual and “dream” descriptions are vivid and gorgeous.
