Review of 'Two serpents rise' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A love story set in an Aztec like megacity. It has been 60 years since the gods were killed and the human sacrifices stopped. Industry (in this author's world it is called Craft and is also magic) has supplanted religion except not all the gods are gone and not all people want them gone. This crackled and zipped. The characters, in particular, were a strong point of this novel. Another recommended read in this series (that I should probably have stuck with when I started it years ago!).
