Review: A Strong and Steady Read.

I had heard of Queen Boudicca but I was glad to have this opportunity to read her story. It is a little choppy in spots but it stays true to what we know from historical accounts rather than wandering into fictionalized sensationalism. I appreciated learning the source of the soul-stirring battle cry of Aragorn in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. (One reviewer is a little confused about sources. Tolkien was a historian and used many ancient literature sources to inspire his own books. That hardly makes anybody guilty of plagiarism.) It is a strong and steady read and I am thankful for the opportunity to learn more about a little-known champion of freedom.
