The Labyrinthine Journey (Servant of the Gods Book 2) by Luciana Cavallaro – Review by Brandy Vaughn

The Labyrinthine Journey (Servant of the Gods, #2)The Labyrinthine Journey by Luciana Cavallaro
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evan is stuck in the past from the 21st century, trapped in a world so different and alien by the Greek God Zeus so that he could recover two powerful relics of the Mother Goddess in order to save the Olympian gods from extinction. I like how Evan accidentally lets modern things slip like mentioning Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. It makes the story humourous and keeps the reader turning the page. This story is packed full of adventure and a novel you will surely love!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story starts out letting the reader know that Hester is no ordinary girl, just like the river is no ordinary river. The river nymphs call to her to join them in the water, and she’s pulled away by a mysterious stranger before she can fall in. I love her wonderful description of the setting (I’m not sure of time and place) and character interaction within the text. Magical realism, history, folklore, green witchery, and adventure line the pages of this wonderful story!

On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series #3) by Jay Veloso Batista

Another fantastic read by the author. I’m hoping there’s more after this book. On Viking Seas is the third book in the Forerunner Series. It’s a great read and you’ll love it.

Cub is out and doing what he does best. Being a Viking. Now he’s got to prove he’s got what it takes. The quote I chose for Cub is: “Yea, yes, boss.”

Highly recommended for Historical Fantasy lovers.

The Vardoger Boy (Forerunner Series #2) by Jay Veloso Batista

This is another great read by the author. The Vardoger Boy is the second book in the Forerunner Series. We get to see characters from book 1. Highly recommended!

Finn is supposed to go upon a ship. When he does he realizes that the ship is haunted. Can he survive? The quote I chose for Finn is: “No, Raga, I have had enough adventures in the Realm Between. I don’t want any more such adventures, not me….”

Raga is Finn’s friend. He keeps his eye on Finn. He knows Finn better than anyone. The quote I chose for Raga is: “Poor little Finn. His uncle doesn’t know what to do, propping him up and shaking him awake. Look how groggy he is, lost without his hug, his soul dangling there in the river, clinging to the back of the boat. A boat troll, who would have thought the ship held a mast troll this far from the islands? They can be nasty…”

Highly recommended for Historical Fantasy lovers.

Thorfinn & The Witch’s Curse (Forerunner Series #1) by Jay Veloso Batista

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Thorfinn & The Witch’s Curse is the first book in the Forerunner Series. It’s an amazing book and I can’t wait for more.

Yeru loves to tell her stories. So when she’s asked to tell the story of a legend she dives in. Everyone loves to listen and she loves to tell. The quote I chose for Yeru is: “In the dim time between the fall of Deria and Danelaw, the coast of Northumbria was ravaged by rovers. Vikings they were– Harbingers of the Great Army destined to conquer East Anglia, they arrived in long boats with carved wyrm or bear faced prows, fierce warriors with battle hardened mounts, Danes and Jutes, Nords, Frisians and sons of Skane, full of lust for blood and glory.”

Highly recommended for Historical Fantasy lovers.

The Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

The Cross of CiaranThe Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me this book started off a little slow, however the further I read the more interested I became. The author, Andrea Matthews’, use of a historical and archeological foundation really made this story pop for me. The tale is a paranormal, time travel, romance with some great characters and one main character, Caitlin, who is very unlikable. I do feel like there is more to her than we are getting, but that remains to be seen in book two. This novel is filled with quest-like adventures, history, mystical happenings and a little strange romance thrown in.
I had some difficulty initially keeping up with the story, because it time travels in the memories of Ciarán back to the 5th century and then back to the present day. Nevertheless, this back and forth developed an epic background that is building this narrative for great things in the future.
During an archeological dig in Ireland, Caitlin finds a pristine human specimen, an ancient pagan priest who unbeknownst to Caitlin was entombed alive. Magic and mystery weave there way throughout the story and once back in the states, the pristine specimen goes missing. He finds his way to the only sacred ground he knows, a church. Where we meet Father Mike and my favorite character!! Again we find things mystical and enchanting weaved into this tale as the truth begins to unravel. We won’t know the all of it until book two. If you are going to read this book make sure you have book two or you will be so upset!

by Christy Nicholas

I loved this book just as much as the other books in this series. This book is so rich in detail that I felt like I was right there in it. There is magic, history, action, danger, romance and so much more. This story is Éamonn”s journey and it kept me completely enthralled. I really like Katie’s character as well and her strong personality. I couldn’t put this book down as soon as I started reading it until I got to the end. There are other wonderful characters in this story that make a great addition to this book. These books can be read as a standalone, but it is my suggestion to read them all because they are truly great stories. This author does an excellent job weaving magical stories in such a way that they grab your attention and keep you captivated. I highly recommend this book.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Legacy of Luck (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 3) by Christy Nicholas was a pretty okay read that was intreating, engaging, with a solid plot.

A follower of this series, I have to say this wasn’t my fav, but still held my attention and kept me reading. I love the characters, and the MC’s were well developed, compelling, and easy to like. I like the opening, it set the stage for me and cemented the plot to come. The flow was steady, and the detail, wow, this book was heavy on the detail and really made you feel like you were apart of this world. I love the journey, the mystery, the little magic, and the high price that our MC had to pay when given the “gift”. This book was a rare take on what it deemed as romance. Sure they had little time together, but his will to dave her, find her, and doing what he could, was a treat for me.

I do wish there was more magic, and fea, but overall this book was a pretty solid read, and it gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series. This series can be read out of order and still enjoyed, but you will enjoy the common ties between the books. This story follows Eamonn and Katie. I really enjoyed their story and how the brooch played its part in the story. These are great historical fiction and the author puts time into exploring different periods of Irish history. I have read several books in this series and I have enjoyed each of them. The characters are interesting and each story focuses on different members in a family. This family story spans generation after generation. I look forward to reading more about them and the brooch in the future.

My rating 5 out of 5 stars

This is probably the 5th book I have read by Christy Nicholas and like the previous books, this one is nothing short of awesome. Every time I read book from the Druid’s Brooch Series, I instantly get sucked in. This book is filled with romance, adventure, always magical and excellent characters.

I really enjoyed the character of Eamonn. He is the next in line to inherit the brooch and spends his time trying to save a fellow Traveler by the name of Katie from a loveless and unsafe marriage. The twists and turns along the way as well as the secondary characters we meet make this book truly wonderful. I especially love the way Katie’s parents were worked into the book as well as her evil fiancé/husband. Having such nasty characters really gives this book that extra edge, which again is what pulled me right in.

I truly recommend the entire Druid’s Brooch Series. Watching the brooch being passed down to different members of the family, and what obstacles they encounter because of it, is magical.

When I started the Druid’s Brooch series, I wasn’t sure to expect but now that I’ve finished book 3, it’s time I admit how much I’ve enjoyed it.
Each story can be read as a standalone and the more I read from this Author, the harder it is to pick a favorite.
Legacy of Luck had the imagery and authentic feel I’ve come to expect from the Druid’s Brooch series with a Fantasy element that proves to be fun and exciting.
I really enjoy the depth and character development in this book. There were characters you love and those you love to hate, yet somehow find yourself invested in just the same.
As always, looking forward to reading more from Christy Nicholas.

Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas was a very unique book. This book is a part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. This book is about Eamonn and his travels to Scotland after he falls in love with Katie. Katie is a bartered bride against her will and he along with her sister go off to find her. Overall I really enjoyed the story. I love Scotland and Ireland stories so this was fun. I would rate 4 stars.

4 Stars

I am reading this whole series so far out of order it isn’t even funny. I have enjoyed almost all of the books I have read by this author and this series has been great considering I don’t even read this genre. I must say that besides the area descriptions and where this book takes place, it is not my favorite of the series, but I sincerely did enjoy it. I am thinking that this is not the authors fault, maybe if I go back and read all of these in order it will all be different for me. In saying that you can absolutely read these all as standalones without too much of a problem.

Eamonn’s journey to locate Katie, his true love along with her sister and his cousin was fun, had a bit of magic here and there and also had some twists and turns that I was not expecting. I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland so it was great taking this journey with them.

There were some great characters in this book, all of them written in very well and I definitely disliked the ones Im sure I was supposed to. There are some sensitive subjects in this book that were a bit hard to read at some points, but all in all this authors writing still comes through as completely awesome throughout.

Highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Legacy of Luck is the third book in Christy Nicholas’ Druid’s Brooch Series. It’s a fascinating series that I’ve been really enjoying. Each book focuses on a character in a different point in (predominantly Irish) history who inherits a brooch, passed down through the generations, and with it gains some magical powers. I love the glimpses into history, and the way the story unfolds throughout time.
In Legacy of Luck, the heir to the brooch is Éamonn. A traveller with a knack for gambling with dice, Éamonn is desperate to save fellow traveller Katie from an arranged marriage she hasn’t consented to. He has to discover how to use his powers to help him on his quest, and how to do so safely.
There are lots of good characters in this story – I particularly like Éamonn’s brother Ruari as he is kind and loyal and uninterested in the romantic drama that takes over most of the other characters. I also like Turlough with his gift for music.
In this book there is a fair bit of violence and domestic abuse, particularly in Katie’s story. It is addressed sensitively and is a relevant part of the story, but at times it is quite graphic and can come unexpectedly.
For me, this is a five star book. I enjoy the series, and this is a great addition to it! The books do not need to be read in order, and indeed the series order doesn’t follow the chronological order of the time periods that the books are set. So I’ve been reading them in a fairly random order and enjoying the story that way! If you’re particularly interested in Irish travellers or 18th Century history, this might be a good place to start.

Legacy of Luck is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. This series are the only books I have read by this author and I have to say I have not been disappointed, Christy has a way of writing that really grabs you and makes you want to keep reading just to see what is happening. The thing I like about Legacy of luck is the story doesn’t start with a bang, it slowly builds up and in my opinion gives a chance of getting to the characters much better. It’s good to read another book with a female character as a main, but also making her a strong character enhanced the story. In this book we have romance and action a plenty. This book can also be read as a stand alone with ease. I highly recommend that this series is read, like me you will enjoy it I am sure.

Legacy of Luck Druid’s Brooch Series #3 by Christy Nicholas ​is a historical fantasy that is full of magic and mystical creatures. The story is fraught with action and drama, adventure and mystery, and lets not forget the danger. All books in this series can be read as standalones. Having been to Ireland and Scotland I found it easy to travel to and imagine the vivid pictures that Christy was painting. I enjoyed this story but to me it was a little slower paced to begin with and took awhile for me to warm up to it. I felt the storyline of the Brooch was missing in this tale and I was a little unsure of some of the characters. There is a little twist towards the end that I did not see.

Travellers Eamonn and Kate are attending a horse fair with their families and Eamonn falls head over heels for Kate but she is forced into an arranged marriage. Thus becomes the journey to save her and have her for himself.

I have read most of the books in this series and am not sure what is left to read but I look forward to finding out.

“The Druid’s Brooch Series” is a a series of books that can be read as standalone stories. The common thread is a brooch that is passed on to family over the course of many generations.

LEGACY OF LUCK is not my favorite of the series. The descriptive writing had me fondly recalling my recent trip to Ireland, but I never connected with the characters.

This is on me, not the author. The story evolves slowly and there is a bit of repetition with events (or dice games) and circumstances. It is a fairly fast read and I will be putting this on my “to be read again list” to see if my opinion changes.

This is yet another book in this series I have read and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed yet another trip into the world of the Fae and ancient Ireland and Scotland this time. The author has quite a unique world that she has created. I was just as enthralled with this book as I have been with the others in this series I have read.

The characters are refreshing and bring the story to life. I really like how the author entwines the two worlds together of the enchanting Fae and the magic and the real world , I really enjoyed the cultural pasts that the author uses in this book of Ireland and Scotland. I like how the story wasn’t predictable. Eamonn and Katie’s characters really drew me more into the book. I like how each were each other’s second chance. I really routed for Eamonn at the beginning as Katie was really off limits to begin with. I also like how Eamonn’s family history with the brooch and the Fae gets entwined into the story. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

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!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Legacy of Luck is the third book The Druid’s Brooch Series from Christy Nicholas. I do believe you could read these out of order or as stand alone novels however, I wouldn’t recommend it. Christy Nicholas puts a lot of work and time into her scene and story building. It is evident that the amount of research and effort put into the details and making them as accurate as possible. The world of Ireland and the Travelers of the time is vividly painted for you so that you feel as if you are right there where the story is taking place and soaking it all in. I couldn’t and still can’t get enough of the world building that Nicholas does.

I’m not going to even attempt to tackle the story-line and details around that much outside of what the author already chose to divulge in the blurb. I will say these characters were some fun ones to read. The initial first few chapters were slow but once this story took off it was full speed ahead until the final page. My only complaint could be that I wished there was more detailing and explaining of The Druid’s Brooch. I feel like that story-line got lost a little in this book. I am looking forward to seeing what will come next in the series.

Legacy of Luck (Druid's Brooch #3)Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas

I give Legacy of Luck: Druid’s Brooch Series: #3 by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

This is the story of Éamonn, an Irish Traveler who enjoy gambling and women. He doesn’t have a place to call home, but he doesn’t need it. Then he meets Katie. He is ready to give everything up for her. Then he finds out she is to be married off to another. He cannot stop the wedding, but he promised her he would protect her and he aims to keep that promise. So he goes with his cousin and Katie’s sister on a journey to catch up to Katie. But this is not as easy as it seems. They are always a few steps behind. Along the way, they run into adventures, both good and bad. Katie’s journey is also a hard one. She did not want to be married to this man, and she quickly learns that her new brother in law is one not to be trifled with. She prays Éamonn will find her. But the farther they go, the less hope she has. Will he reach her? If so, what then?

I have absolutely loved this series and this book exceeds my expectations. The characters so real, you love some and loathe others. Katie is my favorite. She is a spitfire Irish redhead who isn’t afraid to show her temper. The story itself is wonderful. There are good things and bad things along this journey, just like life. Katie learns and deals with a lot along the way. Others also deal with grief throughout the book. The author has weaved a magical story set in a place steeped in the ways of the old magics and gods. I could not put the book down and you will also be drawn in as soon as you start reading.

Legacy of Luck is the third book in the The Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. Nicholas’s story telling grabs you from the beginning and keeps up the details until the very end. I loved the journey of this story. Between Scotland and Ireland the scenery could not have a better backdrop. In this book, Eamonn takes a journey to Scotland to find his bride. Kate is on a journey to find him. There are some obstacles in their way. Eammon has the brooch his father had given him. We see the power in the brooch when Eammon uses it. Will Eammon find Kate and vice versa? Will others get in the way? Will the brooch help or will it hinder Eammon?

Legacy of Luck is another wonderful read and addition to the Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. I am always completely captivated by this author’s books, her attention to detail when telling the stories means that I can always easily envisage what I am reading. Her world building is excellent. The story is a slow build which I really liked, I really liked and connected with the characters – I especially liked Eammon, I thought that he was a great character. I definitely found myself rooting for him and Katie; there was this real and genuine connection and attraction between them both. The author put a lot of emotion into the story and it worked well against the suspense of what was going to happen.
Legacy of Luck was a really great read, although part of a series it could be read perfectly well as a standalone. I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
