Fingin is on a journey to find his grandmother. With his friends Bran (a dog) and Sean (a donkey), he takes on the task expecting for there to be a little to no issue. However, that’s not the case, because that would be too easy! Instead, they face moments of danger and unease. Who wants to keep her hidden? Why is this so difficult? He’s struggling to just get to a place where he can sort things out and someone or something wants to stop him at all costs. Once he gets through the thick of it, he finally is able to do what he set out to, find his grandmother. In the end, though, it’s not at all like he thought! Instead, there are a few more magical moments mixed with old-world stories and a lesson in what it means to have love in your life. It’s a beautifully written story. Well done!

Age of Secrets by Christy Nicholas is the eight book in the Druid's Brooch series. This can be read as a standalone but I think once you read it you will want to read the entire series. The stories all interconnect but not a series which picks up from the last sentence of the previous book. This has romance, fantasy, action, suspense, and lots of twists and turns. Fingin is by himself until he is sent on a mysterious quest to find his grandmother. His only companions are Bran (a dog) and Sean (a donkey). What they find on the path of the quest makes FIngin question everything he thought he understood. I really enjoy this series because it allows the reader to escape the reality of today and take an adventure elsewhere.

Age of Secrets ( Druids Brooch Series #8) by Christy Nicholas
4 Stars!!!!
Eighth time another charm! The series just keeps getting better. I really think the author has such a great world she has built. I love to delve into the supernatural world of the fae. I like how the author uses old Irish folklore and fae. The books really get your attention and keep you hooked.
I felt like each character really just added more and more. I like how the author ties in the mortal realm and the Fae. This series is so unique and I find that it helps to sooth my history craving as well. I felt as though I was back in druid times with the characters and going through all the motions. I definitely will read more from this author in the future.

Age of Secrets (Druids Brooch #8)
By Christy Nicholas
4 stars
Yet again another wonderfully detailed and creative book from this author! I have really enjoyed the series so far so was looking forward to the newest instalment and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Fingin’s story was really fun and interesting to read – I thought I knew what was going to happen but there were some nice twists in the story which kept me hooked from beginning to end. I loved the adventure and magic in the story I was easily lost in what I was reading. The authors writing never fails to transport me in to the world in which she is writing about – fantastic world and character building!
Lovers of fantasy reads will not go wrong by reading this book and the series! I highly recommend this vividly detailed read to everybody!

Druid”s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas is one of my favorite series. I recommend the entire series as the characters and storylines are engaging and adventurous. This book is no different. The character development makes you feel like you know them personally. In Age of Secrets Christy NIcholas has two unusual characters Bran, who happens to be a dog, and Sean who is a donkey. They are on the adventure with Fingin. This group goes through some twists and turns. Fingin is on an adventure to find his Grandmother. The problem is that his Grandmother may not exist in the world where he is looking for her. I will warn you that you may not put this book down once you start reading it.

This is the eighth book in this series, the best yet. I highly suggest reading this series from the beginning, they are full of action and adventure. This book is no different. This is a creative, well written story that took me on an adventure of finding someone who may not even exist. I enjoyed the characters, they made the story feel real. I enjoyed seeing the different characters such as Bran (dog) and Sean (donkey). Fingin finds Bran who leads him to a powerful woman who sends him on an adventure in search of his grandmother. I had a hard time putting this book down once the adventure started. Problem is - she may not even exist. I highly recommend this story to see what happens next.

Age of Secrets is the eighth book in the Druid’s Brooch Series by Christy Nicholas. It is a fantastic fantasy- with magic, adventure, paranormal elements, drama, action, romance, family, friendship, danger, battles, obstacles, and some mystery.
I always love the attention to detail and vividly descriptive storytelling that Ms. Nicholas has proven to excel at- as it brings her stories to life and makes them very realistic, believable, and entirely captivating. I can always count on her to deliver a really well written tale. Each book in the series is fascinating in its own right, but then when you read a few, you begin to realise that each one contributes a fragment to a wonderful Tapestry. But, be prepared to have each book draw you in and get you invested in the story and characters, right from the beginning.
Fingin hasn’t had things easy, and things get even more complicated when he is sent on a quest to find his grandmother. Along with his dog Bran, and Sean the donkey- they set off on an adventure which will test them in many ways. Things don’t go quite according to plan- and things are definitely not what they seem.
If you love fantasy, lonely outcasts, magic, adventure, and wonderful animal friends- then you really shouldn’t miss this story!
This adventure is a wonderful addition to the series.
Thank you, Ms. Nicholas!

Age of Secrets (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 8) by Christy Nicholas
4 Stars
This is the only author that can write this genre and keep me reading for 8 books. I get confused a lot while reading these stories but it doesn't last long and the scenery while being on the journeys with these characters is like a dream to me.
Each one of these can be read as standalones but you'd be missing out on some awesome writing if you did that.
This one has us journeying with Fingin on his quest to find his grandmother. What he goes through on this quest had me yelling would you watch what you're doing at my kindle. I loved the addition of Bran and Sean and the part they played in Fingins journey. When Grandma is finally located Fingin realizes things aren't what he remembered or expected.
This is an awesome story, its up there as one of my favorites of the whole series. I can not recommend this author enough, you can almost smell and feel the surroundings while you're reading and truly feel like you are right there along for the ride.

Age of Secrets (The Druid's Brooch Series 8) by Christy Nicholas is another wonderful fantasy book in the series and easy to get lost in the storyline and characters. It is a creative adventure full of action and danger, and magic. Christy has a way of writing to make the story pop off the page and the plot is always well developed making the characters come to life.
In this book Fingin is sent off on a journey to find his grandmother. Fingin along with his friends have to face the danger and the obstacles set in his path. Fingin finds his grandmother but things are not what they seem. Now you have to grab a copy if you want to know what happens.
