Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the short extract.

Already from just a few pages I’ve read Elodie is giving us yet another powerful story following Boudicca’s Daughter. I got a sense of a great depth of the history, the relationships between characters and most of all the sisterhood that I think we can expect in this thrilling bew release!

Wonderful glimpse into Harper’s next novel, it has got me really excited about what’s to come. I can’t wait to read it!

Just a short extract but certainly enough to have me eager to read more of this book when it is published in August! Brilliantly descriptive and compelling writing, this historical fiction draws the reader in with themes of power, survival and family from the outset.

Very much enjoyed the ‘Boudicca’s Daughter’ extract and looking forward to reading the complete novel soon. Every reader who has enjoyed the Wolf Den trilogy will know that Elodie Harper has a remarkable gift for conjuring characters from the past with whom we can connect today. Her historical research is meticulous and those of us who now have a vivid understanding of Roman life in Pompeii through her most recent novels will soon be submerged in both Iceni Britain and Nero’s Roman Empire. Exciting prospect!

My thanks to NetGalley and Head of Zeus for this extract in exchange for a fair review.

This short extract from Elodie Harper's new historical fiction novel Boudicca's Daughter is written with passion, and is a gripping read. It's a famous historical episode, a tale often told - but the author goes in at full tilt, headlong, to put their own stamp on the material, and I admired that fearless approach which felt apt.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this advance extract.

I can't wait to read the complete book. I loved Elodie Harper's Wolf's Den trilogy, and am so looking forward to sinking my teeth into this.

To say I need more is an understatement. I wish this was the full book, this little extract had me so intrigued. From the short amount here, I know I’m going to love this book and that Elodie Harper’s writing will be just as entrancing like it was in The Wolf Den Trilogy.

Elodie Harper’s evocative writing once again shines through in this sampler of her latest novel Boudicca’s Daughter, which is sure to be a triumph. A must-read for fans of historical fiction. I can’t wait to read the whole thing!

Thank you to Head of Zeus and NetGalley for access to this sampler.

I grew up in Norfolk and learnt a lot about Boudicca in history lessons so was very excited to see Elodie Harper announce this book. I enjoyed this extract and wanted to keep on reading. It was gripping and if the rest of the book is as good, can see it being a favourite. Excited for the release!

It was a bit stiff, lots of very short sentences that stated exactly what was happening and what the characters felt about it. But certainly intriguing, I thought Boudicca's speech was quite good, so perhaps the prose loosens up later on. Gorgeous cover.

LOVE this! Can’t wait to read the full novel. Everything Elodie Harper writes is rich, atmospheric and has strong characterisation. Love it!

I've not read any of Elodie Harpers writing yet. It's had to give a view on just an 8 page preview however what I will say is - I'm picking up the wolfs den this week!

Oh my goodness please can we have the whole book now. This extract completely captivated me, drew me in and left me counting down the minutes until the book is realised. I haven’t read any of Eloidie books before but I will be now

I think Elodie Harper could write a shopping list and I'd want to read more from the very first item on the list! This extract from Boudicca was only 8 pages long but as with the Wolf Den series, I was instantly gripped and drawn back in time. Incredible characterisation and historical research set out so accessibly. I was already excited for Boudicca's release and am now even more so. Roll on August!

The extract is very short, and it would only be fair to evaluate the writing, atmosphere and some of the themes in such an excerpt.
Told by the POV of Boudicca, these pages show a strong POV, writing style and an interesting dynamic between Boudicca and Bellenia.
Very atmospheric and visual.

I loved reading this extract (even if I wished it were longer!), i’ve always been fascinated by Boudicca’s story and i think her daughter’s pov offers quite an original perspective on the life of this legendary woman!
From just a few pages, we immediately understand that the stakes are high, that the original plans might have gone to dust and that there’s a complex relationship between the two sisters, I can’t wait to read more!

It is a bit hard to judge a whole book when you have only a few pages from the random chapter to read. But based on that, I think it will be a very interesting read.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read this extract.

I feel my review of this novel will not be up to my usual standard as the extract was too small a sample to write anything meaningful. However, Boudicca's Daughter seems to be written with the same carefully crafted beauty and intrigue as her other books, the exceptionally small extract provided for review was certainly captivating. The book, based on an amazing and much-loved historical figure, definitely holds promise.

The one chapter extract I was lucky enough to read from this novel due to be published in August shows that the book promises to be a superb historical read about what Britain was like at the time of Boudicca and her daughter and how the famous mother inspired her daughter. It brought to life the arrival of Boudicca into London after she defeated Rome’s Ninth Legion beautifully. Looking forward to picking it up in its entirety in due course.

I was lucky enough to read an extract of this highly anticipated book!
And wow! Eight pages and I was hooked! The detail, the atmosphere and the tension. In just eight pages you understood how dire things are, what risks are being taken and how uncomfortable the main character is.
I cannot wait for this book in August!
