I am saddened to say that I have found a major problem with this book that I was enjoying so much. I was reading pages 239-241 when I realized that it sounded very familiar. I got my copy of Aztec by Gary Jennings and began flipping through it. I was shocked to realize that pages 141-143 are almost identical to what I read in Sun Priestess, it is almost word for word. The same things happen at the same time in these few pages. Coyote Woman's meeting with the noble Ah-tzam Xiu, being shown her room and marvling at it's size and what it contains, the servent showing her the sanitary closet and how to use it is exactly the same in the book Aztec. Could this possibly be a coincidence?

I enjoyed reading this sequel to Coyote Woman, however it was not as enjoyable as the first. It did have my attention, but unlike the first I was able to put Sun Priestess down. I think the writting was well done, and her descripions were fantastic, but the story line lacked something. In Coyote Woman, I felt that I grew with her...I felt her blossoming into a woman. In Sun Priestess...she seemed to stop growing, both spiritually and physically. I did enjoy the book, but I loved and re-read Coyote Woman

I have always enjoyed reading Ms. Robbins' books. I find her to be a good researcher and a believable story-teller. I recommend her books to anyone who enjoys ancient history and anthropology.

I'm sorry to say that this book did little to keep my attention. The men are all depicted as super loving, super sensitive, obedient robots. The story line is also very boring and not much happens. I tried to keep reading it but couldn't get more than half way through it. The descriptions of the surroundings while the heroine was traveling was the most interesting part of the book! Read this book only if you need something to put you to sleep!
