Die letzte Königin der Kelten

Rate this book
Als Nero Anno 54 römischer Kaiser wird, bricht im besetzten Britannien grausame Tyrannei aus. In dieser Zeit verunglückt der Keltenkönig Prasutax, der gemeinsam mit seiner druidisch gebildeten Gemahlin Boadicea über den Stamm der Icener herrscht, tödlich. Nach keltischem Recht tritt seine schöne Witwe die Alleinregierung an, doch Nero will keine Frauenherrschaft dulden und fordert ihre Abdankung. Als die Königin sich weigert, lässt er sie in den Kerker werfen und schänden - aber es gelingt Nero nicht, sie zu brechen. Im Bündnis mit den Druiden der heiligen Insel Môn ruft Boadicea die Keltenstämme zum Freiheitskampf auf.

It was nice for a change to read a historical accurate book which you actually believe. Most books set in that time just make me raise an eyebrow, but Manfred Böckl does a lot of historical books and so I do believe that his historical fiction is quite accurate. I enjoyed reading this retelling for Boadicea's story - without Marion Zimmer Bradley's exaggerations - of a strong woman in historical times.

The only negative apsect was - again - the fact that the books had some lengths, but this time they seemed less than in the book about Merlin.
