It's a tad dry, with some awkward grammar; however the pacing and details are superb. I'm more looking forwards to reading The Conquest of New Spain by Bernal Diaz when I finally get it in the mail.

I'm about halfway through this. It's alright but not as good as I was hoping. It's pretty hard to find good books on Kabbalah though.
