From a sampling, this is an interesting and entertaining addition to the Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series following the Roman soldier, Marcellus Antonius, and his love, Catrin the Druid warrior. It seems like it would be worth a second look. Well done.

Catrin has to endure physical and emotional suffering--her whole family has been slaughtered. She disguises as a boy and starts training as a gladiator. Will she and her lover be reunited? In addition, if you love Romand gods and Druids, this book is definitely for you.

Iam going to read this book to explore adventures of Marcellus Antonius, a Roman soldier, and Catrin, a Cantiaci Druid warrior in Rome and Gaul. From the review this book is a captivating one that will excite the reader. I look forward to reading it.

Well-written review! I'm excited to read about a female gladiator. A blend of romance, action, and historical fiction, "Amulet's Rapture" seems promising. Adding this to my shelf. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The setting of this book looks interesting but I'm not a fan of romance novels so I will give this one a miss.

This is 'a historical romance fiction story that continues and centers on the romance of Marcellus Antonius, a Roman soldier, and Catrin, a Cantiaci Druid warrior.'
This romance story sounds interestingly complex.

I've heard of and read the sample of the first two books, so I'm sure this third one will be great! I'm sad to learn that Catrin and Marcellus aren't together after everything; I do hope they can find a way back to each other in the end.

Offering a brief recap provides a clear understanding of the story, which is quite captivating. The inclusion of a heroic female character adds an appealing dimension to the plot, which I find quite appealing. I am eager to delve into this romantic mystery and witness the story's development."

This is the type of book you feel for the characters and even want to cry at time, but just can't put it down. The love triangles and backstage actions all add to the climatic scenes and character development. Hopefully Catrin can keep it together. This summary encaptures the essence of the trilogy and even adds a flair of suspense for would-be readers to latch on to. Not only do we get a solid synopsis and background summary, we also get the readers opinion. After reading this review I'll probably end up reading the 1st 2 books.

Thank you for your detailed review on "Amulet’s Rapture: Book 3 in the Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series" by Linnea Tanner. This is a historical romance fiction story that continues and centers on the romance of Marcellus Antonius, a Roman soldier, and Catrin, a Cantiaci Druid warrior. The author does include the first two books at the beginning of this read even though this book is a stand alone. I best liked that Catrin was the central character. She was able to endure a lot of physical and emotional suffering. She trained with men and kept up well with the rigorous training that Priscus put the soldiers through. She used her abilities to shapeshift into a raven at important times. She was fearless. I haven't read the first two books but after reading the sample on Amazon and the other two reads being on Kindle Unlimited, I decided to put all three on my shelf because I liked it. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

A female gladiator? Seems like a well-written story. I'm not a fan of historical romance. I appreciate the summary of the two previous books and a list of the characters.
I enjoyed reading your review. very informative.
