Elodie Harper, give me more IMMEDIATELY. She could write a shopping list and I would gobble it up in one greedy little mouthful.

I loved the idea of an excerpt, so thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I’ve yet to read Elodie Harper, but have seen how popular an author she is, so I was excited to read this.

Within these eight pages, we get a sense that Boudicca’s Daughter will be a brutal, testing story that focuses on strong females in the 1st century.
Harper’s writing style was quick to draw me in, and the extract flew by too quickly. I’m certainly now eyeing up the full book.

Thank you netgalley for this excerpt. 8 pages long but I was gripped! I’ll totally picked this up went it releases!

I loved the Wolf Den trilogy so I cannot wait for Boudicca’s daughter to be released this summer. When I saw the extract from the book, I knew I needed a sneak peek. It looks like Elodie is going to do it again with this book. In just a short extract, I am already invested and wish I could keep on reading now!

While it is a bit hard to give proper feedback from a short extract - Elodie Harper is such a skilled author that even in the short pages we were able to read, it is clear how impactful this book will be! Harper is so skilled with words - able to paint such vibrant images in the reader's mind and creating stories that leave us breathless and on the edge of our seats. I really enjoyed The Wolf Den by Harper and I know that the author's strong imagery and impeccable storytelling will shine in this book as well. Excited to read the full thing!

Having read, and enjoyed, this author’s previous books which were set in Pompeii and Ancient Rome I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to read an extract from Boudicca’s Daughter which is expected to be published in August 2025. There’s a definite fascination to be had in learning more about the woman who was able to call Boudicca mother and this short extract from chapter thirteen of the book introduces us to Boudicca’s daughter, Solina.

I liked what I read, it’s descriptive, atmospheric and I’m sure if the rest of the story is as good then Elodie Harper will have another best selling historical novel to her credit. This is definitely a book to look forward to reading over summer

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!
