Interpretation To Books King of the Celts

So first of all I'm no native speaker or writer or whatever, so if you find any mistakes, keep 'em:)
I've bought this book because I really liked the author's "GIVES LIGHT" series.
It is set in ancient Gaul, on the territory of modern France and Switzerland around 58 BC, as the blurb (hehe, funny word) states. Her series seemed to be very well-researched and credible, but I am having some problems entering into the 'King of the Celts' world. This may be for the following reasons : if I am not mistaken, the potato was introduced in Europe shortly after Columbus visited America for the first time and brought it back with him. How should it have been harvested roughly 1500 years before he even left Spain ?! Same with the chocolate and almonds which are definitely not native to the region.
Secondly, talking about people in their thirties as having 'young faces', calling a boy of 15 years a kid and thinking it was credible that a 17-year-old wouldn't have been married (forced to marry?) in that time doesn't seem reasonable.
Thirdly : HUMMINGBIRDS?! Seriously?? Remember where your book is set?
I am no expert whatsoever in this specific historical episode but still quite sure some of the details don't add up.
Mkay, that was just my first impression and the main reasons the book didn't get more stars. actually, I'm still not quite sure whether to give 2 or 3 stars, because while the story was nice, occasionally heartbreaking and all in all captivating, there were just too many things that threw me off a little (okay, a lot). I had problems keeping all the different characters sorted out because there were just too many of them introduced throughout the book and due to their unusual names, I was really thinking about starting over in order to create an encyclopedia:) same thing about all the celtic expressions that were never explained. I mean, you can surely get away with not explaining things like the beltane and samhain festivals, but there was a lot of stuff mentioned that I had no idea what to think about.
well as I said, the story wasn't bad and if you overlook the flaws I mentioned, it makes for an interesting read, although I'm a little disappointed with the ending - not the general ending, something of that order had to happen (sorry about the very vague expressions, I'm trying to stay spoiler-free) but about unnecessary not very credible reunions and also it seemed as though sometimes the courses of action were agreed upon much too easily - they're disagreeable Celts but there's no discussion whatsoever concerning the course of action or about who's in charge?!
All in all, it was definitely a nice book that I do not regret buying and that I didn't have the urge to stop reading, but not nearly as good as some of the author's other books.

A bit concerned about the fact that they keep eating potatoes 1600 years before any potato came to Europe, but apart from that everything I expected it to be, including loss and heartbreak.So first of all I'm no native speaker or writer or whatever, so if you find any mistakes, keep 'em:)I've bought this book because I really liked the author's "GIVES LIGHT" series.It is set in ancient Gaul, on the territory of modern France and Switzerland around 58 BC, as the blurb (hehe, funny word) states.

THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING!Page 7: "... hilled around the heaped and towering crops, potato flowers crawled their way across the ground in pearly white buds..."Page 35: "... I hilled the melons, the potato blossoms, the blossoms buttery and star-shaped."Page 67: "Lulach almost dug up the potatoes but Enda stopped him..."Page 85: "Come autumn, the potatoes would ripen and we would make bread with them..."And so on...
