This will be my first book for #authoramonth (Kate Quinn wrote Part 6) and #litsyatoz #letterY. @Soubhiville
Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 186

This book is a great little book I listened to it on audio.
There are some ladies in this book I don't agree with but the others it was nice to learn a bit more about them.
Last book of the readathon. @Andrew65

Gaius Valerius Verrens is serving in Britannia. On a mission to Camulodunum he hears the king of the Iceni is dying and the tribesmen are getting restless under Roman bad treatment.
This was very much a Roman's eye view of Boudicca's revolt. I found the romance between Valerius and Maeve unconvincing and the book only really took off when the revolt started. The action scenes were suspenseful even though I knew what historically had to happen.

Plenty of gladiators in these and Boudicca trying to get the tribes free 😢
Love this series, love Boudicca and always cry at her story.
