Admit it, you admire Catrin because you want to become a Yoruba princess ?

Cynwrig reminds me of my dad. A man I admire intensely.

Catrin almost reminds me of Boudica. Sounds like an engrossing read!

Yeah, the author actually mentions Boudica in the prelude to the sequel. She was a Celtic queen after all.

Good review, you liked Cynwrig! The guy hardly spoke, anyway he was always everywhere. Good points.

Who'd you propose, Catrin? Cynwrig was a blast.

I loved reading Apollo's Raven, and I can see by your enthusiastic review that you liked it too. Like you, I was left wanting to know what happens next, and I cannot wait for the second book, Empire's Anvil, to come out!

Yeah, me too, I can't wait. Linnea Tanner is a skilled writer. I've never been into romance in my books but with Catrin-Marcellus, Tanner made me a fan.

I am interested in the Celtic and Roman traditions which are detailed in Linnea Tanner's Apollo's Raven. From this review, the depictions of the Roman god, Apollo, and other Celtic gods appear remarkable.
