The Story Begins with Beric going to a Roman town to see some friends. The Story Ends with Beric bring set back to Briton as a magistrate.

I learned that the Britons did not all get defeated when their Queen committed Suicide.

I really liked when the Britons fought in the swamps against the Romans.

I didn’t like when the Britons were taken to be slaves.

I wonder why Beric didn’t keep watch the night that he was surprised.

I would recommend this book because it is exciting history.
