Legacy of Luck (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 3) by Christy Nicholas – Review by Angela Hayes

Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Legacy of Luck is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. It is a historical fantasy- with mystical elements, magic, Fae, action, adventure, drama, mystery, and danger.
Eamonn is a horse trader and Traveller (not to be confused with Gypsies),who is attending a horse fair with his family. Kate and her sister Deirdre are also Travellers who are at the fair with their parents (who are really horrible people). Eamonn falls for Kate, but before he can really do anything about it, Kate’s father arranges a marriage for her, and she is whisked away. Eamonn is determined to rescue her, and so with Deidre and his cousin- they set off on their quest.
I have read quite a few of the books in this series now, but not in sequence- picking books at random- and thankfully each book can be read as a standalone. I have found this story the most difficult to ‘get into’, as it was really slow to get going and the overall pace of the story was much slower than I would have liked. I also couldn’t connect with Eamonn, and I found him hard to like. I didn’t mind Kate- but again I didn’t fully connect with her either.
I really wanted to like this story much more than I did, because all the other books I have read of Ms. Nicholas’s there hasn’t been a problem getting into the story or connecting with the characters. Perhaps I’m just having an off week- so I will look at revisiting this book in the future to see if I still feel the same way.
I will be continuing my exploration of this series to see what else Ms. Nicholas has in store for us!

Thank you, Ms. Nicholas!
