Ireland, 1114. In an ancient land where honor and destiny entwine, a man is faced with an impossible choice: loyalty to his sovereign or the salvation of his granddaughter's future. Maelan, a seasoned warrior with the rare gift of magical camouflage, faithfully serves his chief with a bloodied blade. Yet, as he gets older, he yearns to protect his seventeen-year-old grandchild, Orlagh. But his world shatters when the headstrong girl falls under the spell of a disreputable bard and flees under cover of darkness.

Misfortune of Song - A must read

Misfortune of SongBy Christy Nicholas4 out of 5 StarsWhen I first picked up this book I had no idea it was book 5 in a series it definitely can be read on its own but needless to say I will be going back to read the others. But Misfortune of Song was such an incredibly well written and captivating story. It’s authors like these that truly inspire me.As a huge lover of Fae I loved how they were incorporated in this story and can say this story developed at a quick pace. It will be one of those stories you don’t want to end.I definitely recommend this book and will be going to read the others as well! The heart of this book was so amazing. Can’t wait for more people to get their hands on it!

A tale of love and magic in ancient Ireland.

Orlagh is ferocious but too small to ever be a warrior, although her grandfather is hard-pressed to keep her out of trouble. When she falls for Temuirr the silver-tongued bard, her grandfather is determined to save her from herself and keep her safe. The pursuit of the couple will encompass great distance and danger. If he can only repair the relationship with his granddaughter in time to pass on the family heirloom and the power it will convey.There is love and loss, and plenty of magic. I really enjoy Christy Jackson Nichols's writing style. She brings the scenes to life. received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

Misfortune of Song

A struggle of a grandfather and granddaughter to find independence of each other and of themselves. The tie that remains is more of the family legacy than of the heart.

Nice Addition to the series

Misfortune of Song by Christy NicholasDruid’s Brooch Series #5My rating: 4 out of 5 starsThis book is an excellent addition to the Druid’s Brooch Series. The story was easy to get into and the characters were written nicely. This could be read as a stand alone but the other books in the series are just as great and I would highly recommend them.Almost all of the characters in this book got on my nerves or did things that made me hate them. In saying that, it really made the book all that much more interesting for me. I wanted to read on to see how each person would react to the different situations they were thrown into.Orlagh is a fool, chasing after a love that wasn't even there in the beginning just because of one kiss. Temuirr is a promiscuous man that can’t hold a solid relationship which, leads to his sister Yana always exasperated by the situations he gets himself into. Orlagh finds out that her grandfa is arranging a marriage for her with a man from their village, she denounces her grandfa’s care to live on her own and follow her love for Temuirr. Temuirr is surprised and taken aback, he realizes he is in too deep with this woman and may have to court her for real.Eolande is Orlagh’s best friend, and my favorite character. She always has Orlagh’s back and is a fae that was cast out of her world because she fell in love with a mortal. She follows Oralgh in her quest to track down Temuirr to watch over her and keep her safe. Maelan, Orlagh’s grandfa and Eogan, Maelan’s best friend, go out on a search to find Orlagh and bring her home as well as to her senses regarding the traveling bard, Temuirr. Maelan makes many very terrible decisions regarding his granddaughter in the form of kidnapping her and ruining her relationship with not only Temuirr but him as well.I don't want to give away too much more information, but there is some stuff that goes down towards the end and really makes for a nice ending to the book. I did enjoy this book and can’t wait to look into more books from this series.

Awesome!!

Misfortune of Song: Druid's Brooch Series: #5 by Christy Nicholas4 StarsSo even though I have read this series completely out of order I have totally enjoyed every story and this one was no different. Although I do wish I had read them all in order I do have that on my to do list for the future. This as I've mentioned in earlier reviews is not a chosen genre of mine but I can't deny the writing in this story, it flowed so perfectly and kept my attention throughout the majority of the book.I loved the character portrayal in this story from Orlagh dealing with real teenage behaviors and Maelan struggling with trying to save her from herself and also trying to follow through on an obligation. The story progressed and had me on the edge of my seat through most of it. It had many different aspects filled with danger and suspense.I love Ireland and want to visit someday, and even though this was set in the past the descriptions of it just strengthened these hopes I have of seeing it someday.If you love reading fantasies set back in history you will absolutely love these books.
