I found this book interesting, I love historical fiction and romance, but I have never read anything about Celtic and Romans together.

Yes, it's refreshing to have strong women characters. I really loved Catrin. The writing style has a great flow and the book was so well edited. Very interesting novel.

I enjoy historical novels. I read little about the Roman invasion on the Celtic tribes. I would like to read Apollo's Raven to no more about the Celtic history of the Britain. Thanks for your review.

When I saw the name Apollo , my grandfather's homeland's mythology sprang to mind. And with Greek mythology there's plenty of powers, sexual obsessions, rivals as well as manoeuvres to outdo each enemy using godly prowess
I think the book lives up to it's title as the review is well edited.
Well done..

The book is one that I adore. It's worth reading this book in depth. The components are there for historical fiction that is well-written and well-researched to stand out. Your writing was well-considered, meticulous, and fascinating. I appreciate the author.

I have been in awe of mythology and tales about ancient cultures ever since I was a young child. So, despite everything, I will read this book. The review is really extensive and comprehensive, which offered me a thorough understanding of the book.

Such an interesting review to read. I have high expectations for this book and I believe I'll be thrilled when I'm done reading this book. The characters seem perfectly described and the time of the plot is the old times which I enjoy. Not to go on and on, the review is marvelous and certainly attractive and I'm sure readers will seek this book after reading this review.

Apollo's Raven by Linnea Tanner, sounds like a gripping historical fantasy fiction. I like the strong female characters in the book. The plot is interesting as the period accurately reflects the fight for dominance by rulers of that time. The collision of Roman culture and civilization with Celtic customs, myths and legends makes the historical aspect even more intriguing.
