Considering the involvement of Dave Gibbons, I expected something more, but this is a pretty average offering.

3✨ It‘s really hard to discuss and review this book without spoilers. This book is read in two POVs one of them has a lot of political information until they have to go in hiding, and the other is pretty packed with adventure. I liked the adventure side and my jaw dropped when I read who I was going to get to read as the second POV. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Pickpick

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

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 7mo
bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3

It‘s amazing how many quotes popped up on Readwise today that fit with the book I finished this evening.

Traitor by choice. Gunslinger Amani al'Hiza fled her dead-end hometown on the back of a mythical horse with the mysterious foreigner Jin, seeking only her own freedom. Now she's fighting to liberate the entire desert nation of Miraji from a bloodthirsty sultan who slew his own father to capture the throne.

I woke from a sleep filled with nightmares to the sound of my name.
I was already reaching for a gun when I recognized Sara‘s face above me, swimming in and out of focus as my eyes blurred with exhaustion.

Once, in the desert kingdom of Miraji, there was a young prince who wanted his father‘s throne. He had no claim to it but the belief that his father was a weak ruler and that he would be stronger.
