pickSoft 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

I have been reading these books out of order. Technically they can all be read as stand-alones. However, I wish this particular book I had read sooner since it is about characters that are repeatedly mentioned in later books. Still enjoyed and was glad to fill in some blanks. 4⭐️

This is book 6 in the series. It is a stand alone book but I wished I had read in order since Jessica is a minor character in other books. Also, Nial is mentioned often since he is the leader of the Coalition.
I liked that this book had more plot in it. The characters worked and we get a bit more development in this book. 4⭐️

This is a prequel to the Interstellar Brides series. It is the story of the first bride, Amanda, sent from Earth. Mated to two Prillion warriors aboard a coalition battleship. She is also a spy and sent to report on the validity of the fight against the Hive. Interesting start and I kind of wish I had read these in order. 3.5 ⭐️

Another enjoyable book in this series. I think this is the last about the Atlans. I hope at some point there will be more about these warriors. 4⭐️

This is book 4 in The Colony, another offshoot of the main series. I am liking this offshoot series a lot. Great mix of action and romance. I think there are around 30 books or so in all. At the rate I am going I'll have them all read in a couple of months. 😆📚📖

This is book 2 in the series and set on a BattleShip in deep space. So the setting is much different than the other books in the series I have read thus far. Also different, this one is about Prillon warriors. While a good story, I still liked the later offshoot series better. 3.5ish⭐️

This the first book in the Interstellar Brides Program. While I still like the later offshoot series better. The later series has better character development. This was still good. 3.5⭐️
If you liked Hunger Games - this is for you. I wasn‘t sure if I could make it, I mean I just wanted to rescue everyone from this fate that lay ahead for them. When the second book comes out, I will definitely rereading this one to get continue the energy to the next book, War Widow. Loved this AI pic - just makes me think of the book.

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 16h
