I'm continuing my track of finishing series which I've started. Harbinger of Storm is the second book in Aliette de Bodard's Aztec fantasy series. It's definitely a fascinating setting with a likable main character Acatl who is the High Priest of the God of Death. I really enjoyed the first book, which I read three years ago, and Harbinger was another book which I hardly wanted to put down for trivial matters, like sleeping. It's a combination of murder mystery and political intrigue. The Aztec emperor has died (in battle) and a couple of men want to be the next emperor. Meanwhile, people are dying and Acatl strongly suspect that someone is summoning demons to kill them. I'm already reading the next book, Master of the House of Darts.
