I read the 8 page extract of this book because I thoroughly enjoyed Elodie Harper's Pompeii trilogy and admired the way she used the historical certainty of the eruption of Vesuvius to build suspense and tension. I was interested to see what she would write next and I would definitely like to read this book in full. The 8 page extract plunges you into early Roman Britain and a first person narrator in a native Briton camp where the tribe are preparing for battle. I think this extract might be an excerpt taken from an early chapter (13) rather than the opening chapter of the book and it has all of the hallmarks of Elodie Harper's writing that I enjoyed so much in the first trilogy. She raises questions, creates suspense and uses historical knowledge (both her research and basic facts known to the average reader) to build suspense and narrate a gripping story. I really love her attention to details (lice and sweat stiffened clothes in this passage) which are presented naturally and narratively rather than as 'research'. I will definitely read this when it is published and I am slightly gutted not to be able to read the rest immediately!

I feel like I can’t say too much on this book as was only give an extract of the book (9 pages). But I did enjoy those pages and I’m excited to read the rest of the book! If it’s anything like Elodie Harper’s other books we are certainly in for a treat!

It’s been a while since I read anything related to this historical period but reading this short extract got me nostalgic for all my history lessons in school. I like the writing and how descriptive yet easy it is to follow. Looking forward to reading the whole book when it is released!

Really looking forward to the full novel.. Throughly enjoyed The Wolf Den trilogy and just know I'm going to love this even more.

I need more. Please. I'm sold. I cant cope with where this extract ends I'm fully invested and so glad Elodies writing still captures me outside the wolf den trilogy. Cannot wait to read it all.

Although only an eight-page extract, Boudicca's Daughter by Elodie Harper instantly captivated me with its vivid prose and powerful sense of atmosphere. The extract left me eager to read more, promising an epic journey of resilience and rebellion. Harper’s writing is immersive, drawing me into the tense, uncertain world of a woman living in the shadow of her legendary mother.

Based on this brief but compelling sample, I can’t wait to delve into the full novel. Fans of historical fiction and strong female protagonists should definitely have this one on their radar.

A very short taster so impossible to give a proper review but it is well written and beautifully descriptive. I haven’t read anything by this author and it is not my usual genre but having read this I think I may well give the full book my attention.

Although this was only an extract I loved it, in fact so much so, I re-read it!
I have read many books fiction & non-fiction on Boudicca & this extract is as exciting & refreshing as when first discovering her!
I hope to be given the opportunity of reviewing the full novel, if not I eagerly look forward to the publication date.

I am sooo ready for this!!! Absolutely ate up the Wolf Den Trilogy and being able to read a sneaky little extract got me all excited for more Elodie Harper

Even in this short glimpse of the story, I am intrigued. The tension is palpable - in the story itself and between characters. I desperately want to read on. I am also enjoying the author’s voice and ability to build tension and suspense - I don’t believe it is only a matter of not being able to read on.

As an admirer of Boudicca, I look forward to reading the rest of her story. I believe this account of her story will be engaging and highly entertaining.

This short extract has me hooked and I cannot wait for the full book to come out. Even from these 8 pages, you can clearly see the character dynamics and what kind of person Solina is. It's got me so excited to read the book, I can tell this is going to be amazing.

Although this was only an extract of the book, I was hooked! As someone who has not read much mythology, I really enjoyed this. The intrigue in this small extract gave so much for me to be excited about when this book is actually released. I definitely want to delve into the world of mythology more and read something else by Elodie Harper.

I really enjoyed Elodie Harper's Wolf Den trilogy, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to read an extract of her new novel.

The extract begins right in the middle of the action as Boudicca's troops are about to march into Roman Londinium. The sights and smells are sharply drawn and the story is compelling. I can't wait to read the whole thing!

I didn't know that this was an extract from the book, but it was an okay read from what I read, (even thought it was from a random chapter, not the first one.

Hopefully we will get the chance to read/review the whole book.

i don’t know why i did this to myself, i knew it’d be amazing and i would devour it in mere minutes but i forgot that it was only an extract and now i fear i wont be able to read anything else until i have this book in my hands. Elodie Harper, you’ve done it again.

as always, i'm obsessed with Elodie Harper's writing!! i need this book asap and will be counting down the minutes until i can get it in my hands

Thank you NetGalley and Apollo/Head of Zeus for being able to read this extract of Boudicca’s Daughter!

From this extract alone I’ve given it three stars as I had trouble getting into the language, was bothered by some commas and word choices etc. But with that said I felt thoroughly hooked by the end of the eight pages and I’d love to read the whole book when published. I haven’t read anything by Elodie Harper before so I’m really glad I got this opportunity to try their writing out.

As a fan of the Wolf Den trilogy I was hugely excited to read this extract- and it didn’t disappoint.
Harper has a way with women from history - they breathe fire and bleed hope. I can’t wait to read the full version.

As a lover of British history, I was immediately drawn to this book. This eight-page extract was incredibly engaging, with vivid descriptions of camp life and battle that instantly immersed me in the story. The dynamic between the sisters, along with the underlying tension, left me eager to learn more about their journey. The writing flows effortlessly, balancing detail with an engaging pace. I can’t wait to pick up the full book in August!

This excerpt has me even more excited for it's release this summer. I know very little about Boudicca, and what I do know is only because of her proximity to Rome. The excerpt does an excellent job with describing what being among Boudicca's followers may have been like: dangerous, dirty, and tiring. I can't wait to read more!
