I appreciate the main character being a strong and confident girl, though not too bold and swept up in the war against the Romans. I like the struggle she faces between wanting to follow her mother and free Britain from its oppressive rulers but also seeing the other side of Boudicca, which does seem to be focused on results and not what it does to her people or her followers. That she sees the division in her as her mother and her leader. It's also great that she has a moral compass in her sister (and would like to see her not immediately killed off). It would be interesting to find out more about her family dynamics behind the scenes. Even more to find her on her own adventure, maybe a chase for Decanius in France, leading her to become her own woman and warrior.

This short extract says so much more than I was expecting. The writing style is clear and immersive, the characters even in very few pages are distinct and interesting, and I absolutely love the premise. Boudicca is such a fascinating character, and to read a portrayal from the perspective of her daughters? And the book doesn't shy away from or romanticise the realities of war? Sign me up.

I can't wait to read this when it comes out & Elodie Harper is now on my list of authors to watch!

Have I already preordered this? Yes.
Could I resist reading an extract? No!
I've read everything that Elodie Harper has ever published, and I think this is going to be my favourite of hers. Boudicca and her daughters are such interesting and important figures that have almost been lost to history, and I'm really looking forward to seeing Harper's take on them.

This short sample is well written and has give a good feeling about the book.

I enjoyed retellings and will be picking this one up in the future.

I'm hoping that the book is better than this extract, it unfortunately didn't hook me on the story at all. It seems to be well written, and the characters are fleshed out. I'm just not a fan of being thrown in to a cult-esque scene with little to no context beyond the battlefield.

I absolutely love Harper's writing, and this excerpt did not disappoint. It was difficult to get to know the characters from the one chapter alone so character relationships and development is impossible to judge. However, the historical details and tone really pulled me into the action and it was easy to follow. I will definitely be reading this novel when released.

Boudicca's Daughter already looks absolutely amazing. Elodie Harper's writing is phenomenal—lyrical, vivid, and emotionally resonant. Even in this brief glimpse, she manages to conjure a world full of tension, legacy, and the strength of women caught in the tides of history.

Boudicca's Daughter is sure to be another unforgettable novel. I’ll be buying the full book the moment it’s released!

This was a short extract, but you clearly get a feel for the main character (Solina) and the dangers her family are currently facing.
It has me intrigued to read the full story to find out how the author plans to play our Boudicca's story through the eyes of her daughter

Really good book that I found very interesting. Would love to read more of this book as I am very interested in anything about Boudicca.

I honestly don’t think Elodie Harper could write anything I wouldn’t be obsessed with.
I absolutely loved this extract and now I’m counting down the days until I can read the whole book.
The wait is agonising!

Thank you for a copy of this extract in return for an honest review.

"This army is led by greed, rage and hatred. It is led not by Catia but by Boudicca, a monstrous figure the people conjured into being out of their own anger."
Boudicca, a legendary figure in both history and feminine action, sets the scene for one of the most infamous times in early medieval history. This was incredibly well written and evocative of female rage that still echoes down the centuries, Many different reads will find something of themselves in this story and I cannot wait to read a full copy.

Loved this extract. I look forward to reading the whole book. I loved Eloise’s previous works. And am sure this will be just as good.

Could this be my book of the year?
This may be my favourite Elodie Harper book yet! And if you've read The Wolf Den series, you'll know exactly how much that means.

Boudicca’s Daughter is a powerful novel that will put you through all the emotions. Harper's writing is completely immersive; from the lands and rebellion of the Iceni, to the opulence and corruption of Ancient Rome.

Solina, Boudicca's eldest daughter, is an incredible character with a unique and vast perspective. From her Iceni upbringing in the Horse and Wolf tribes, the brutal rape of her and her sister, the glory of her mother's uprising, her fighting as a fierce warrior and leader, through to the aftermath and beyond. What does it mean when rebellion fails, both personally and politically, for her and her people? And in the end what legacy can she leave of the Iceni? Solina is many things; daughter, sister, warrior, slave, and above all, survivor. "This is not where it ends."

Sparse points of views from Boudicca and her Roman vanquisher, Paulinus, add to Solina's for a rich complexity and fullness of narrative. Experiencing the dangerous politics and brutality of Ancient Rome was something else.

Elodie Harper has the immense skill of giving a voice in historical fiction to the often voiceless in history. I can't wait to read what she writes next. And you should definitely go and read this ASAP.

The story of the daughter of Boudicca, the ancient British queen who fought the Romans, from bestselling author Elodie Harper. It's hard to review from an 8 page extract but this is clearly going to be an engaging novel, written in the lyrical and gripping style that made Harper's Wolf Den trilogy so beloved. I'm excited to read the rest.

I can only use one word for this review because I cannot think of a more coherent way to put this review: obsessed.

Really enjoyed this extract and I have added this book to my TBR! It's tough to give more information, but this feels very promising.

If the rest of the book continues on the same path as the extract I read, then I believe that this book will be amazing.

The characters development is great and I love how courageous and strong Elodie is written.

I look forward to finally being able to finish this story when it’s fully released.

This isn't the longest extract to review but it definitely had me intrigued and I'm looking forward to read the whole thing!

Only an extract so difficult to give a full review. Based on the extract I’m not in a rush to read but I will add it to my TBR

Elodie Harper does not disappoint. I have been anticipating Boudicca's daughter after finding and loving Elodie Harper's The Wolf Den Trilogy - easily one of the best historical fiction series of all time, genuine genius, there is nothing like it. I can't wait to read all of this book when it is released, I have no doubt Elodie Harper will give a fierce and resounding voice to the women of history, as she always does.
