The Eagle and the Raven by Pauline Gedge
5.0
I love historical fiction but I don’t normally read works set in Roman or Saxon times. I took a gamble reading this book because the cover was just so awesome and I’m really glad I did!
It’s definitely slow going at first and it takes a while to get acclimated to this world Pauline Gedge sets up. After about 100 pages I was drawn in and it does not let up. Even if you know your history surrounding this era (what I know comes from half remembered documentary I watched over a decade ago on Boudica) it still makes for a compelling read.
Sometimes it really does pay to be shallow and let a beautiful cover help you chose your reading material.
