This was incredible! I wish it was a novel, this is worth more stars. So beautiful. This was my favourite quote from it:
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t dress nicer for you. My Father has never let me own too many things. If I could, I would have put flowers in my hair and beads around my neck. I would have painted my face in the yellow your wives wore, and I would have put silver through my nose.”
“I can dress you,” Tlāloc replied, “in all the jade of the earth.”
Wow! I fell in love with this book and their love.
