Worshipped by the ancient Olmec people of Mexico, Spirits Walking Woman, a prophetess, trades her destiny as the queen of an empire for a journey to enlightenment that exposes her to the machinations of her evil blood sister. Original.
This was a book that touches on the ancient forerunners of the southern regions of pre-Spanish Mexico - the Olmecs. In particular, we witness the rise of a wise woman, Spirits walking Woman and her role in the early years of the Mexican empires. She is part seer and medicine woman with a strong ability to communicate with the other world. We see that she has an impact on the future of Mexico but she must survive, first. This was enjoyable and I learned more about the Olmecs and their beliefs but it lacked depth.
Blech! Impossible characters with wierd tie-in to Christian deity...trinity, savior, resurrection after three days......I can't believe I read the whole thing.
