Angus Watson (1) (1972–)

Too YA for me, not my kind of humor and I did not like the simplistic writing style either (feels like "fantasy for dummies"). I also hate chase stories. Not at all what one would expect from that cover (which I like).

This was a really strong series opener. The characters are vivid and the world building excellent.

The conclusion of the trilogy about Britain's iron age and the attempted conquests by Julius Caesar. The descriptions of "man's inhumanity to man" during war stir up emotions.

This is an historical fantasy set during the iron age in Britain. The Romans are planning to invade Britain via assault on Gaul. The characters from the first book reappear and prepare for the invasion. The story is accurate on the Roman side based on Julius Caesar's diary but since there is no written history from Britain the characters and events from this perspective are believable fantasy. On to book three of this trilogy!
