Summary

In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome....

Dreaming the Bull continues the story of Breaca - now hailed Boudica, the Bringer of Victory, and her half brother, Bán, now an Officer in the Roman auxiliary cavalry. Each stands on the opposing side in a brutal war of attrition between the occupying army and the defeated tribes; each is determined to see the other dead. Caught between them are two children, son and daughter to two of the greatest warriors their world has ever seen, while in distant Rome, the Emperor Claudius holds the balance of lives in their hands.

Excellent

This is an excellent follow-up to the first Boudica novel and now I can't wait to listen to the final part of the trilogy. You do not have to have heard the first part to understand what is going on but I think it would be helpful.

Excellent narration and wonderful historical detail. A great listen for lovers of ancient history.

Beautifully Written & Read. Requires Concentration

I embarked on 'Dreaming of the Bull' after rating Manda Scott's 'A Treachery of Spies' as one of my all time favourite audiobooks. 'Boudica: Dreaming the Bull' didn't tick all the boxes for me and certainly required more concentration, nevertheless well worth the time and effort.

Brilliant

One of the richest & most captivating book series I’ve listened to.
It also has a power to reconnect to our tribal roots here in Britannia & remember.
Personally I’m so grateful for that.

Great Book

I read the Boudica series when they were first released, and couldn't put them down. So pleased to be able to listen to them on Audible now, very enjoyable. Manda Scott really brings this time to life. Love the writing style, and the descriptions of events and scenery etc.

Boudica

I must admit I found the first book of this series quite hard going but I’m so glad I persevered, ‘Dreaming the Bull’ is superb historical fiction. I am a fan of Caratacus sometimes known as Caractacus or Caradoc and was glad to see he didn’t return to Britainia as that would have stretched the fiction too far. Can’t wait to start book three now.

A brilliant historic fiction

I have read this and the other two books many times. I love Manda Scott's telling. waited years for the audio books as I find it difficult to read now. l will l istern and 're l istern. I love these books. Waiting for the next audio book in the series to come out. If you like historical fiction you'll love this interpretation. the vocals are easy to l istern to. a very good 're telling.
