I have to admit I am one of those "judge a book by its cover" type of reader. When I saw the cover for ICENI: The Year of Sacrifice, I was excited to have the opportunity to get a copy for myself and see what it was about. Stephen D. Owen's first book from his ICENI series was far from being a disappointment. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It was full of adventure, history, mystery, suspense, and action with twists and turns. I loved Boudica and felt like I could some of myself within her. I admired her bravery, courage, and determination. She refuses to back down and does all she can to protect herself and those she loves. I thought this story was great to read and was easy for me to turn page after page.
I am going to give ICENI: The Year of Sacrifice a very well deserved five plus stars. I would have given it one hundred stars if I could have. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read the combination of historical fiction and thriller fiction. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next installment from the ICENI series to see what happens next and what author, Stephen D. Owen, has in store for his fans.
I received a digital copy of Stephen D Owen's ICENI: The Year of Sacrifice from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
