Oh, this is exciting! Really enjoyed these few pages. Looking forward to the complete work.

Thank you Netgalley and Head of Zeus / Apollo for the ARC.

Wow, now I just want to read the whole thing
I loved Harper's series set in Pompeii and now this is an excellent hint at another great book

Elodie Harper's writing transports you instantly, and brings history to life.

I was gripped by the Wolf Den trilogy and this extract promises the same, with visceral details of life in Roman Britain and characters with worrying fates. I'm looking forward to reading the rest!

I thought this extract would satiate my need for more Elodie Harper content until I receive the hardback of Boudicca's Daughter this summer, however I am now more impatient than ever to get my hands on this book! It promises to be another gripping, atmospheric and unmissable read. The gorgeous writing style of the Wolf Den trilogy partnered with the legend of Boudicca = my idea of heaven. I cannot wait.

Thank you to Elodie Harper, Head of Zeus | Apollo, and NetGalley for the free e-arc extract in exchange for an honest review.

I have already pre-ordered this and cannot wait for this to be released! I loved this chapter extract and it has me craving the release date. I will bet it lives up to the perfection of the Wolf Den trilogy.

have been fascinated by the roman, / iceni clash, all i have been able to read so far has been from the roman side, this alternative view drew me in straight away, cant wait until the whole story will be available. thanks

I was already excited about this new book by Elodie Harper, but after that little extract I’’m even more curious about it! I loved The wolf den trilogy and Elodie Harper’s writing so i’m just even more convinced that i’ll directly grap this book at it’s releasing date!

Soling and her sister are watching their mother Boudicca destroy a Roman legion in London but to Bellenia all this means is killing and stealing, from Britons as well as Romans. They both feel it is time they built their own city but instead they join in the fight. Judging by the extract, this will be an exciting, if bloody, read.

OMG! This was just one chapter and I was drawn in instantly! I can't wait for the book to be published!

Well this was a very short extract, giving us a tantalising glimmer of what’s to come. I absolutely loved Elodie Harper’s Wolf Den trilogy, and am excited to read her latest book.

Even with this very short extract, I can see that Boudicca's Daughter is going to be another great novel from Elodie Harper. I loved her Wolf Den books and it seems that this one will incorporate some of the same elements - strong female characters, an immersive historical setting and powerful storytelling. I'm looking forward to reading the full novel and getting to know Boudicca's daughter in more depth.

I almost wish I hadn’t read this chapter because now it’s not a case of wanting but NEEDING to read the rest of it! It takes a special kind of author to invest you so quickly into a piece of work.

Ohhh this was a brilliant taster for this new elodie harper book! I can’t wait to read the final book now, hurry up pub date!

Elodie Harper’s Boudicca’s Daughter promises to be a thrilling addition to historical fiction, and the extract alone has left me eager for more. From the very first lines, it’s clear this novel will be everything I look for in the genre—fast-paced, gripping, and filled with intensity. The writing is powerful, the atmosphere immersive, and the story already hints at a tale of resilience and rebellion. If the full novel delivers on the promise of this excerpt, it’s bound to be an unmissable read. I can’t wait to get my hands on it upon release!

A gripping reimagining of this fascinating historical period, providing a timely reminder of the destructive power of war and the way history has ignored those that stand in greatness’ shadow.

I loved it even more than I had anticipated, an impressive feat!

Even thought it’s a short extract consider me very interested in this story, i find myself intrigued by the relationship between Solina and her sister from what we see in this extract it’s going to be an interesting dynamic.

Elodie Harper's writing is engaging and vivid as always - very excited for Boudicca's Daughter after reading this! She doesn't shy away from the realities of life in ancient Britain and already raises questions about the motivations of the attacks on the Roman legions, leading to immersive and exciting writing from the very start.

Thank you to NetGalley and Head of Zeus for the extract!

Looking forward to this even more after reading the extract. I loved the original trilogy so I can't wait to see what else Elodie Harper has in store for readers.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Such a teaser though. This is one of my most anticipated reads of 2025, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to read the whole book. I’ve absolutely loved and devoured the Wolf Den trilogy, and it’s one of my favourite series ever. Based on this extract I believe this book will be similar.

Please note this is not a book review.

The naughty people at NetGalley and the publishers offer a teaser; as few as perhaps eight pages from Chapter 13, Solina. A bit like sitting down to an eight course meal where nothing is available but a warm broth. Yet that soup is the most delicious appetiser you have ever tasted and reminds you of the exquisite dining in the pages of the Wolf Den!

Elodie Harper writes with a passion and a razor sharp imagination. Going behind historical situations to reveal the sights and sounds of street life. Here again our senses are assailed as we cling to a charging steed and feel the hunger of a camp unable to make fire from wet sticks and damp kindling.

So few words to assess a book; as quick a dip into a book as some would spend time reading the cover sleeve and checking the price. Something best done in independent bookshops where the presence of books prompts our buying addiction. I love finding a new title from a favourite author and in Boudicca’s Daughter I have found a must have novel.

This book will have so many layers if these few pages are replicated throughout; for they question life, their motivation and how within an uprising against Roman rule the armies and tribes for Boudicca are killing just as many Britains as Romans. But aside from these wider concerns and insights into political history there is the social dimension. The glimpses of relationships and the basic struggles of these ancient times seep through. These are not incidental observations but layered writing and creative storytelling where the fight against body lice is just as pressing as the threat from the Roman legions.
