Re: The last survivors of once great societies [1]



What I had in mind was fantasy with some basis in the
actual cultures of Central and South America [1], not Old World
cultures slathered on top of New World georgraphy or modern
cultures mirrored in the distant past.

I did think of an example: Marella Sands' Sky Knife.
Unfortunately I don't recall much about it. This isn't a put
down but a reflection that I read it nearly ten years ago.

I see that there was another book in that series (Serpent
and Storm) which I did not see and the author's website is somewhat
glum re: future books in the series.

1: There's some selection bias here in favour of cultures that
went in for durable stone monuments. Sorry for snubbing you, People
of a Slightly Different Tongue.
