Enjoyed. Great reader. Quite similar story overall to Henty's 'With Cortez in Mexico'; but very different writing style. For some reason the style of having an older character reccounting his life, mixed with the accent/style of the reader reminded me very much of Bilbo narrating his story in Lord of the Rings! (Or maybe more specifically, Hobbit).
Classic ! Beautifully read !

I enjoyed this book immensely. If it were any shorter I would’ve yearned for yet another beautifully woven web of an adventure in the form of another chapter. Yet, to my peril all good things must come to an end. I bid you farewell my fellow LibriVox listeners... I shall name my first born Sr. Thomas in memory of this fine piece of literature. #yolo#EarlLife#whoeverthrewthatYaMomsaHoe

Excellent story, epic adventure, fascinating romance and blatent racism to sum it mildly it criticizes both Spaniard & Aztec with thorough racial disdain for both. But the story is a truly exciting but dramatic and romantic tale with fascinating and important history, European prejudice and superiority complex and dashing and improbable romance being mixed together into a spectacular tale of adventure and woe. It would have been a 5 star in spite of it's overly romantic outlook but for it's racist view towards the Aztec with any military victory of them being caused not by the Aztec own military prowess but by the genius and intellectual superiority of white alpharad Thomas Wingfield and any failure of them being caused their own stupidity, it completely whitewashes the conflict between the Indigenous people and the Spanish & their allies. Otomie's death confession is harrowingly racist and bigoted basically saying that her blood waspagan and Irrideamabl. I am officially out of space thank you Librivox🤔
Wow
