The Chicaza were formidable warriors in their own right. But who can stand against war dogs, horses, armor and swords? It changed the way they had to fight (which was very reminiscent of the English squares, wasn't it? Something people forget is that Spain of this time, was the premiere world power with top of the line weaponry. They were top dog and had the arrogance to back it up. Amazing story.<br /><br />You did a great job on the review!<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-69175960421870919932012-03-05T13:43:31.381-05:002012-03-05T13:43:31.381-05:00I have not read this series but would love to.
