Peter Schindler’s Reviews > Encounters Unforeseen: 1492 Retold > Status Update

I found the book to be a balanced historical fiction, depicting perspectives of both Taino native people and exploring Europeans. Level of historical detail was good, & the politics of Columbo's voyage provide an interesting historical view of imperialistic royalty. I believe that the decision to end the story with the reflection of the Taino chieftain on his uncertain future was keen instinct; we know the outcome.
