becoming increasingly frustrated with the amount of nahuatl. the author explains in the intro the purpose of it in the context of the story, but buddy i cant keep running into 4-5 12-16 letter words in a language with a complex phonological inventory PER SENTENCE... you want us to figure out what they mean organically but force a stalled brain several times each sentence... i'm lost and rereading way too much.

do not be fooled by the length of this book or its chapters. it is dense and aiming to accomplish something grand. there are a lot of characters out the gate and a lot of nahuatl with long clumps of rocky consonants.
