Age of Saints (Druid’s Brooch Series Book 7) Christy Nicholas 4 out of 5 stars
Age of Saints is the 7th book in the standalone Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. The author continues to impress me with the depth of her storytelling and the vivid imagery she paints. This is a fantastic fantasy series I’ve found myself lost in, with characters that are deep and relatable. I have enjoyed every book I’ve read in the series thus far, but there was something about Age of Saints that I loved to the point where I would venture to say it’s my favorite! If you’re looking for a great book series that transports you to another place and time then I honestly can’t recommend the Druid’s Brooch Series or Age of Saints enough.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas Stars: 4
This story gives us Conall’s and Lainn’s story. These two are siblings and care very much for one another. I enjoyed their relationship with each other. Conall is the holder of the brooch, and he tries to protect his sister the best he can. This leads to several obstacles and conflict for our characters. Christy Nicholas does a fantastic job at describing the world she invents and her characters are wonderfully written.View all my reviews

Conall and Lainn deserve peace! This sibling duo has been through the ringer and most of it not their fault. Conall promised his father he would protect his baby sister with all that he is and what big brother wouldn’t? BUT there isn’t a whole lot you can do with an absolute expletive of an abusive step father and powerful fae out to get you basically just because. I feel for Conall so much. He loves his sister and wants the best for her. Every decision he makes goes from bad to how could this possibly get any worse…. oh that’s how it could get worse. The only thing I didn’t like in this book was that the ending seemed kind of blah. It wasn’t exactly a cliffhanger but I’m hoping there will be more about these two in the next book. Can’t wait!

4 Stars
The 7th in this series yet stands well on its own, this is my 2nd book by this author and her writing will pull you in and not let go..The descriptions of the surroundings and all that is going on helps in visualizing everything perfectly.
While this is not a chosen genre of mine, I absolutely enjoyed every page and can not wait for the next one which I already have waiting for me, the cover made me notice, the synopsis made me choose it, and the writing has made me stay.
I particularly enjoyed the characters in this story..Conall was awesome and trying to fulfill a promise he made to his father turns out to be more of a challenge than he realized, I loved the family bond between him and Lainn and I loved how real it felt..The interactions between the two made me smile many times.
Looking forward to see where this story goes next and if you are looking for a really good historical fantasy novel do yourself a favor and read all of this series in order..I do plan to do that very soon

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas Druid’s Brooch Series #7 My Rating 4 out of 5 stars
This is a great fantastical book. The characters are wonderful and the story line is interesting and entertaining. I did not think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. This is not my usual genre but I do urge anyone who is even thinking of giving this book or this series a try, go for it. It did take a minute for me to fully get into the book but after a certain point I could not stop. L
Conall is a good man and an even better brother for always trying to look out for Lainn, no matter what it means for him. I am so happy that Conall decided it was high time they left their house, leaving their mother and step father behind. Their step father is a slimy nasty man and it was truly was is best for them.
When they get to the Faerie realm and meet Ammatán, I assumed things would only get better for the sibling duo. I was eager to see where the relationship between Conall and Ammatán would progress, as well as see what kind of life they could live in this new world.
One dumb move by Conall and him and his sister are forced to flee from Ammatán’s house and they end up back in their world faced with new problems, they have been gone longer than they expected and a lot has changed. The life they knew is now gone and Lainn’s life is now in more danger than before.
I could really go on and on but fear I will give too much information away, and spoil everything. The ending, I wish there was more, I feel like some things were left unsaid but I have hopes that there will be a follow up to Conall and Lainn’s story. I truly enjoyed reading this book and recommend not just this book, but the whole series.

Age of Saints is the seventh book in the Druid’s Brooch series.
Yet another wonderfully woven tale full of magic. The story makes you feel as if you are there living it. The characters are intriguing and make you feel as if you know them right away. I love the closeness of Conall and his sister, how they lean on each other to make it through trying times. Ammatan is an interesting and colorful character, many facets to him. There are a couple of parts of this story that could go over into another book.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas is another great addition to this series. This series is a paranormal fantasy series where each story is set in different times. Age of Saints takes us further back in time to almost where it started and the magic became. It also gives us a look back on of the characters we have seen in the other books and shows them in a new light. Each story is a puzzle being put together for the big reveal. Christy’s writing always you to become one with the story and her attention to detail brings it to life. This captivating story is made more enjoyable due to the paranormal and magical elements. But it is also full of adventure and action, drama and romance.

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas is the seventh book in the Druid’s Brooch series. This can be read as a standalone and enjoyed completely. This story follows Conall and his sister Lainn. Conall had made an oath to their father that he would care and protect his sister, Lainn. This story shows how even with the best intentions sometimes an oath is difficult to keep. I really enjoyed the story and the setting in what would become Ireland. There was lots of detail but not to the point of taking away from the story. I also was concerned because I had not read the series but this is a great self-standing book. I look forward to reading more in this series and author in the future.

Age of Saints (Druid’s Brooch #7) by Christy Nicholas exciting and engaging, I couldn’t put this book down.
I am loving this series more and more with each book that is release. With no set timeline, this series does jump-a-round, but still has the same connecting elements. This book reads much like a standalone, but I do suggest reading the other books in this series, as they are amazing and just as magically endearing.
This book takes us back, getting us closer to that ever present magic, and of course were it all began. This book for me, out of all that I have read, is truly the best so far. Maybe it was because it was so far back in the timeline, or, that there was more magic, danger and raw emotions, that seemed to spill of the pages. Whatever the case, I was hooked, and before I knew it, I was done, feeling a little hollow and disjointed. I didn’t know what to do with myself, only to hope that there will be another book. I need another book.
And that is where I will leave you. I don’t want to ramble or gush too much, because I don’t want to spoil this read for you. Just please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will drown in this otherworldly book, full of magic, danger, and the strong emotional bonds of family.

Age of Saints by Christy Nicholas is the seventh book in the Druids Brooch series. Although this series follows the same family each book can be read as a stand-alone. Having read a few books in this series it is clear that this author knows how to write deep and complex characters that will engage you as a reader every time you pick up the book. She also creates an elaborate story full of history and fantasy. The two elements combined in this way work so well. For me this book has got to be my favourite of the series so far. I really enjoyed reading about Lainn. She is a character I connected with instantly and enjoyed reading about from start to finish. This was another good addition to a great series.

Age of Saints is the seventh book in the Druid’s Brooch Series from Christy Nicholas, don’t panic if you haven’t read the other six yet, or in order, these novels can be read as standalones. Of course your reading experience will always be enhanced when you become invested in a series from the very beginning. I have had the pleasure of doing so with this one and I am glad that I have been just reading in order etc. This one was not my absolute favorite of the series so far. Nothing to do with the writing or the characters, I just really had a difficult time with getting into this books flow. However, this is one of the reasons that I do love the series… these are all rich in historical detail and combines that with the fantasy world to bring to life these fantastical stories that have made up the Druid’s Brooch Series. I think for me however, this set of time was just one I was not as ‘interested’ in so to say and that may have been my catch. Otherwise the characters were fantastic, and the world-building amazing as always! I felt as if I was right there at times. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 By Christy Nicholas
I loved reading this book, it is filled with so much detail and fantasy that it drew me in from the beginning and kept me entertained throughout. This story follows Conall and his sister Liann, he is very loyal and protective of her. Conall made a promise to his dying father and he wants to make everything ok for her. In this wonderful journey we are taken on we encounter danger from more on than one person, wonderful animals and we get to enjoy their strong unbreakable bond. The books in this series can be read as a standalone, but it is my suggestion that you read the entire series because they are all detail rich stories that you won’t want to miss out on. They will take you on a magical journey. The author does an exceptional job making you feel like you are in the story with her wonderful storytelling. I highly recommend this book.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas 4 out of 5 stars
This book has a unique twist on how it presents itself to its reader. This is the 7th book in the Druid’s series. This series is essentially the same story that is told from the points of view from multiple family members in different points in history. These books are not in chronological order, therefore they can be read standalone, however, as a reader, I feel that it is always best to read a book/series in the order the author wrote them in. This book, and really this whole series, is heavily laced in history and fokelore is beyond breathtaking and it adds a rich element to the story that builds creates deepth.
Conall and Lainn are the main characters of this story. They are brother and sister who are on the run from a terrible step-father. Conall has inherited the brooch. He is struggling to protect Lainn from their abuse step-father. This story is an emotional rollar coaster. I am an older sibling. i related to this story on a deeper lever for the need to protect a younder sibling. The paranormal, magic and intirgue in this story makes you want to keep turning the page over and over again.
Fantasy lovers will love this book and series. History lover will appreciate the details of this series and both will love how they combine into one beautiful series!

Age of Saints is the seventh book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. This book takes us further back in the sequence of events, giving us a new perspective on some of the characters, events, magic, and that has driven this story/series. It is primarily an historical fantasy- with paranormal elements, drama, adventure, action, romance, magic, family, duty/responsibility, bonds, and so much more. This book has an M/M romance too, which sets it apart from others in the series. This story has its own unique identity, but also ‘fits’ wonderfully well with its companions in the collection. As with all the other books in this series, I really love all the attention to detail and the vividly descriptive storytelling that Ms. Nicholas excels at- it brings her stories to life and makes them very realistic, believable, and entirely captivating- and she always delivers a really well written tale. Each book in the series is fascinating on its own, but then you begin to realise that each one contributes a fragment in a bigger picture that is being revealed. Each book draws you in and gets you wondering right from the start. Superb! The character/s are complex, fully realised individuals who are so cleverly crafted- with interesting and likeable (or detestable natures)- as the author is easily able to sway you one way or another. I can’t wait to continue this series!

This is a great read about protection. Conall lives his life as a mason apprentice who has a secret, a magical brooch given to him by his father. He lived a normal life until his world is turned upside down when his stepfather tries to hurt his little sister, Lainn. Fleeing from him, they find themselves on an adventure filled with dangers and wonders alike. Can they find safety somewhere? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Conall trying to look out for his family no matter what or Lainn’s carefree spirit or the gentle old wise man of Adhna; a great villainous figure in Setna, cruel but believable. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the sense of the ancient world with the little wooden houses in the forest with the hearth fire and stables as if you were actually there. Or the sense of nature like with Adhna’s house, small and thatched but full of moss and flowers with bee hives and ravens and local resources. Or the sense of ancient lore and fantasy with the druids and the standing stones; and its sense of wonder with the arch of trees and the glade and the waterfalls for the sense of a hidden and sacred world full of magic and song as if you had stepped back in time. Also loved the use of Irish language and pronunciations at the start which was a lovely touch and added to the character of the novel. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Age of Saints is the seventh book in Christy Nicholas’ Druid’s Brooch Series. The series consists of stories following the same family at different points in history, and a magical heirloom which plays a significant role in each of their stories. The books are not chronological, jumping between different centuries, and can be read as standalones or as part of the series. What I really like about this series is the extent to which it is grounded in history and traditional folklore. Nicholas paints a vivid picture of every time and place we encounter, and doesn’t miss an opportunity to teach us a bit about life at the time. Age of Saints is no different – I swear I could smell the smoke and mud in the roundhouses! Age of Saints follows Conall, who inherited the brooch from his father, and his sister Lainn. They are on the run from their abusive stepfather, desperate to find safety and reluctant to trust anyone. There’s a good dynamic between Conall and Lainn – they are protective and caring towards each other but with a healthy amount of teasing when safety allows for it. I particularly enjoyed the animal characters. Lainn is able to communicate with them, and so they play a significant part in the story. Barnabus the bee is probably my favourite… For me, this is a five star book. I love the rich, magical world Nicholas describes. I enjoy learning bits of Irish Gaelic and Irish history and how the fantasy elements draw on folklore and tradition. I’d recommend the series to fans of historical fantasy, particularly with an interest in Celtic settings.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas is an great fast read. The action is non stop and the story is one of family. I love reading Christy Nicholas books because I know that I am going get to an adventure of a lifetime with in the book. In the same breath, Christy Nicholas usually has some type of bite to the story. In this story, Conall had promise to take care of his sister Lainn to his dying father. Conall had issues keeping that promise. Between the abusive step-father, a powerful Faerie Queen, and a maddened Fae Lord, Conall was having a hard time making the decisions to Lainn. The story is a roller coaster ride of action and emotions. Will Conall be able to take care of Lainn or will the others make sure he will not be able to fulfill his promise to his father?

Age of Saints Druids Brooch series 7 By Christy Nicholas
Age of Saints is book seven in the Druids Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. I will admit I haven’t read all the books in this series but the books I have read, I have enjoyed. Christy has a writing style that manages to pull you into the story line before you know it’s happened. The storylines are written in such a way that the chapters flow, and this is what makes a good story. This is a wonderful fantasy story that will have you eager to turn the page just to see what is going to happen next. The storyline between Lainn and Conall is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I can’t recommend this series enough, you won’t be disappointed I you should decides to pick up the series. Fantasy lovers will absolutely love this series. So lastly if you want a book that will take you on a roller coaster and full of action, go get the e book and enjoy.

AGE OF SAINTS is book 7 in the Druid’s Brooch Series. If this is the first one you are going to read, it’s totally ok because they all read as a stand-alone with the common thread being the magic brooch. AGE OF SAINTS is in the timeline BEFORE the previous book so it’s cool to see how the piece of jewelry has gotten its start (or closer to its start).
The pages turn themselves in this complex and epic tale that at times reads like a travelogue for 500 AD “Ireland”. The writing is so visually appealing that I am able to imagine it while I read along. The story is full of twists and turns and majik and FAE. It is multi-layered and allows us to take the journey of the brooch with the characters as they are written.
This author has a way of writing that keeps things interesting and is detailed enough that the story is not bogged down with unnecessary word filler. From cover to cover each scene appears to be well plotted and the direction pre-determined. While this is a continuing (what do you call a series that goes backwards? is continuing the right word?) series, each is very satisfying between its own two covers.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 By Christy Nicholas. I’m always a little surprised how much I like this series not because it could be bad it’s just not my normal read. But each time I find myself more in love with these stories. This one was definitely a bit of a roller coaster ride for my emotions but well worth it. It’s got action and characters you won’t be forgetting anytime soon. It’s well written and the author does a wonderful job of creating a story world that comes alive before your eyes. I’m giving this story a four stars and recommend it.

AGE OF SAINTS Druid’s Brooch Series, #7 by Christy Nicholas
Four Stars
This story was very whimsical and enchanting. I love stories about the fae and how the old world once was. Conall was an interesting character. He kind of reminded me of a lost child. Not knowing what to do or where to go. Lanin sounded beautiful and bold. Like she knew things beyond her years. I liked that the author wasn’t worried about what type of relationships the characters should have. It was a very love who you chose kind of book. The flow to the story was very smoothed and unhurried. I like when the author gives you perfect details and you can truly visualize what they describe.

I give Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.
It is the 500s AD in the land later to be known as Ireland and Conall has made a promise to his father while on his deathbed: protect and keep your sister safe. And he takes this to heart, loving his sister dearly. However, he did not realize this would mean protecting her from an evil step dad, keeping her safe during a long journey, and trying to keep her from harm of a Faerie Queen. Both grow and learn much through their journey to find piece and safety. But what will become of both of them? Just what does he have to sacrifice for her happiness?
I absolutely love this series. I have not had the pleasure of reading all of them yet, but each time I start a new one, I am reminded of just how good this author is. She weaves beautiful tales not only of hope and happiness, but pain and loss too. This story brings us to a time where the old gods were still worshipped and Christianity was just beginning to become recognized. The author brings us right into this era. She has obviously done her research and I really felt like I was there with the characters. It is very deep too — it’s not just all love and roses. I like that in my historical fiction. I also liked both Conall and his sister and would love to see more of them in future books.
This is a historical fiction fiction book that is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend it to lovers of both the Celtic history and historical fiction fans.

I continue to be captivated by this author and series. This page turner is no exception, filled to the brim with an emotional tale that focuses on family and responsibility.

I continue to find myself drawn to this series and this contribution was no different. Highly recommended.

Age of Saints was an excellent read, full of action and with great characters. I was hooked from the very beginning. The author’s writing was engaging and full of wonderful descriptive language. The flow and pace of the story were great. I really enjoyed the storyline and it kept my interest throughout – I found myself to having to keep the pages turning so that I could find out what was going to happen with Conall. I did feel sorry for him, everything he seemed to do just went wrong. I really enjoyed reading about him. Age of Saints is a richly detailed fantasy story that I would absolutely recommend! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Age of Saints (Druid’s Brooch Series) By Christy Nicholas 4 Stars!!!!
I once again found myself in the world of the druids. This is the seventh book in the series but the second book I have read in this series. Even with that in hand I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The author has such a unique world that has been created that one finds themselves plunged straight in. The setting is just as Christianity is coming into the scene and is starting to take over from Paganism.
I really found that I was routing for Conall from the beginning. The author really has a refreshing style that brings the characters to life. I felt as though I really was in Ireland and that I was there with them. The author’s unique way of writing helped bring the magic to life as well as the characters. I could feel the anguish as Conall strives to keep his promise to keep his sister safe and the sacrifices he makes. I was on bated breath to see the decision he had to make. I cannot wait to read more from this author and catch up on the rest of this series.

Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 By: Christy Nicholas 5 out of 5 stars
The story Age of Saints: Druid’s Brooch Series: #7 by Christy Nicholas is a wonderful fantasy book the I loved reading. It is a story that is both interesting and engaging. It hooks you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go until you have finished it. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Conall and Lainn. They are brother and sister who at times have disagreements as siblings do. They also care about each other. Conall has promised his father that he would always take care of her. They both are smart, resourceful and talented. Conall is protective of Lainn and is determined to keep her safe. This is a story that includes magic and conflict. What does the future hold for these siblings? Read this book to find out where their lives take them and what happens along the way. I enjoyed how detailed the story is. I felt like I was right there with the characters experiencing what they do. The book has other additional characters. Some are helpful and friendly to Conall and Lainn, others have their own agenda, and some I would call evil. Each has their own unique part to play. I enjoyed reading about the stories and legends that are told. This is a story that you will not be able to put down once you start. I would highly recommend reading it.

This story is full of action and emotional. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions that just kept going. It is a creative, engaging, page turner. Conall made a promise to his father that he will always take care of his sister. But when everything he does seems wrong and all of his decisions don’t seem right. Now he needs to save his sister but it could cost him his life. They are great characters that I loved and felt compassion for. You won’t regret picking this book, highly recommend.

A daring escape, a brother’s duty, and a tragic mistake. On his deathbed, Conall’s father makes him promise to always take care of his little sister, Lainn. With her laughter, she can sing the bees from their hives and make the morning sun sparkle in the winter. He loves Lainn with all his heart, and will do anything to protect her, even without a promise to his father.
He failed.
Between an abusive step-father, a powerful Faerie Queen, and a maddened Fae Lord, every decision Conall makes seems to be the wrong one. Starvation, imprisonment, madness, and disfigurement plagues them. Even when he tries following his heart, it turns to disaster.
Can Conall correct his mistakes and save Lainn’s life and soul?

Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with ‘A’, and decided to concentrate on her writing.

Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she’s a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
