Review
The Valiant is a fantastic historical fantasy-romance. I loved the characters, the forbidden romance and the historical references. This book is amazing because it transports you to the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome and offers something that is completely new to YA historical fiction: gladiatrices. I would recommend this book to those who are interested in Ancient Rome and everyone who loves strong female characters.
