Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 11mo
bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3

Reading is our jam! I love the way these scholars entertain my love of books. A few of them even picked up a recommendation that I gave.

5⭐️ for this 30 page incredible poetic story. It was just one of the most exquisitely, brutal stories I‘ve ever read. Utterly heartbreaking yet so so empowering. It‘s the first book I‘ve ever read by this author, but definitely not the last. If you can take an hour to out of your day, and you like dark fantasy, get this wanna try. I don‘t think you will regret it. This is awesome my #DoubleSpin for my #bookspinbingo.

This is such a unique setup! I expected a novel when I pulled this off the shelf, but that is not what I found. Lowry begins with a discovery: the Windeby child unearthed in Germany in 1952. She creates a fictionalized account of the life of that child, shares further history, and tells a different story of the Windeby child. It‘s a fascinating exercise. I can see this being an excellent example for beginning storytellers. And it‘s # 100 for 2023!

I stayed up until 5AM just to finish the ending of this book! This is my second time reading this series. The first time was over 10 years ago. I love the world these books have created! This is book two and I have already started book three today!

Wonderful addition to Lowry‘s impressive repertoire! Intrigued by the discovery of the 2,000-year-old Windeby bog body in Northern Germany in 1952, Lowry conjurés up an identity and backstory for the young person found there, pristinely preserved by the peat. The body was radiocarbon-dated to between 41 BC and 118 AD. Fascinating!

My daughter and I are both reading this series. I bought it for her to help her find more uplifting young readers‘ fiction. She‘s 10 and loves action and adventure. The writing isn‘t the best out there, but it‘s a quality story with a powerful message.
