I got a free copy of this novel for a fair review. I enjoyed the dichotomy of the Roman (Tacitus) point of view and Boudicca's own account of her life story. It is notable that history truly is written by the victors' biased perspective, and we have to see the difference between historical fiction and fact. Glad to have cleared up misconceptions of her defeat and how much of her role during this time has been gravely undermined.I enjoy Mr. Baker's storytelling style - he's had a knack for bringing you into another world.
