Helpful Score: 1

This is book one out of four in the Boudica series. These four books are the continuous story of Boudica and her life of love, family, friendship, work, seasons, oppression, politics, clashing of cultures, war, envy, strife, guilt and the roller coaster that is life. The novels are deeply seated in well-researched history and accurate portrayals of the Celtic tribal way of life, the Celtic tribes as a colony of Rome and Rome's desperate attempt to not only hold onto its colony but subdue its population. The historical information related to both the tribal life and the life of a Roman soldier are very accurate. The battle narratives are overall historically accurate, except for omitting the Celtic tribes use of chariots. Overall, if you enjoy historical fiction novels that are woven around the true story of an historical figure, you will love this series.
