Too predictable in some parts.
Good for speed reading.

Great cure for insomnia. I just can't get into the writing style. We're not connecting.

I absolutely loved this first book in the series. I did a combination of audio and eBook reading, and found that this helped so much with pronunciations of names that I would have badly struggled with on just physically reading.
I had heard of Boudica before - but not paid too much attention to the stories, I really should have. The historical aspects of this book where woven so well with the fantasy/magic beliefs of the people of that time that you would swear that it was fact and you had been there.
I would like to take the time to thank The Brothers Gwynn - Ed in particular for recommending this on their channel which prompted me to pick it up. 2023 will be a year of much more historical fiction/fantasies.
Looking forward to continuing the series, if not possibly finishing it in total in 2023.
