I can’t help but think this was someone’s dissertation that someone didn’t want to feel was wasted.

I listened to it as an audio (3 hours). Boudicca was mentioned a bunch of times up until mid-chapter 3. After that, it was more about putting events with the Romans, Celts & druids in context (Boudicca was... when the Romans wore... when the Celts went... when so-and-so did...).

There’s only 8 chapters and by about 4, she’s barely mentioned at all. It mostly ends up listing things like the economy at the time, how settlements were doing, what the Druid customs were etc. It’s as if someone forgot about the basic principles of how to answer an essay question: keep coming back to it to make sure you’re not rambling or spewing all the research that has no relevancy to the topic at hand.

This managed to achieve 2 stars only because some of the info was interesting, but not what I’d come here to listen to.
