Historical fiction reimagining the life of the daughter of the iconic British warrior Boudicca who rebelled against the Roman Empire during Nero’s reign.
I don’t know what Elodie Harper puts into this particular book that made me devour all 472 pages in 24 hours.
Like her previous books, The Wolf Den trilogy, one of my favourite series of all time, she has such an incredible voice that makes History feel so vivid and emotional to read about.
Her characters are all so compelling, complex and real and I loved Solina whose is at the heart of this story, her resilience and strength were truly inspiring to read about. I also loved the other points of view which gave a more rounded and interesting perspective on the historical events.
Because this was a single volume, events were sometimes too compressed and I wished the story would have been lengthened into two volumes, still emotionally it still made me feel so many things.
Overall an incredible read that I absolutely inhaled, forgive me for this is a quick review, I just had to get it off my chest. I can’t wait to see what other stories will Elodie Harper tell in the future.
