One of the delights about reading books is the differences in styles which become more apparent as a reader builds the amount read. Recently, I finished The Treasure of the Celtic Triangle with a new appreciation to what authors have written in the past. This novel is dedicated to George MacDonald who was an author along with other endeavors from 1824 until his death in 1905. We also tend to...more

The Treasure of the Celtic Triangle is part of the Green Hills of Snowdonia series and the continuation of the tale that began in the book From Across the Ancient Waters.
While the author sums up the events of the first book, all the character development and most of the plot development occurs in From Across the Ancient Waters and I really can’t imagine enjoying The Treasure of the Celtic Triangle without reading its precursor.
In all honesty, I found the first book in the series superior to this...more

The is a beautiful novel written in a similar manner to those of Louisa May Alcott in that it creates in the reader the desire to live a better life with a closer walk with the Lord. On his deathbed, Percy Drummond’s uncle requests that Percy attempt to locate his never acknowledged first born child from Ireland. Since the location of the heir will change the current lineage, Percy takes on the task while his wedding plans fall apart, and his cousin threatens Percy’s aunt. This story is heart wr...more
I won this is some contest, it's not something I would normally read, Christian Fiction. But it was such a pretty book I decided to give it a try. (It is a beautiful book) I did and was surprised at how enjoyable it is. It was a very romantic tale of love and friendship. It dealt with anger, lies, mistrusts and greed. The treatment of such negative forces was very interesting to read. I expected it to be 'preachy' but found that not to be the case. Yes, it had it's moments of sharing the word. I...more
3.5/5
This book was good. Long with a lot of characters but quite enjoyable. I loved the vivid descriptions of places and the different characters and the way they interacted with each other. Percy was a really good and well drawn out character and seeing him come into his own and find his heart content made me happy. The references to God and his works were well done as well, not too heavy handed or all mighty as I've found in some Christian books. Would re-read this book again!

This is another exciting book by Michael Phillips. If you have never read a book by this author this book will be a great start! This is not a book you can sit and read in an hour but is a real in-depth meaningful story. This book is also part of the Green Hills of Snowdonia series. You do not have to read the others but it would be very beneficial to read them in order. The first book is called From Across The Ancient Waters.

A lovely novel that evokes the classic writing styles of years gone by.
Percy has grown up and become a man, having accepted his uncle's dying request, Percy embarks on a quest to resolve the mystery of the Westbrooke estate, and hte answer might be closer than he ever thought.
Michael Phillips has written another memorable addition to his The Green Hills of Snowdonia saga. This book is written in a style and plot reminiscent of the late George Macdonald, which I believe was totally intentional.

Basically a retooled version of George MacDonald's "David Elginbrod," this story is set in northern Wales in the 1870s and focuses on the tangled family history of the Drummonds, Snowdons and Barries, and their neighbors and servants. A very enjoyable read for those who are romance fans.

I love a good story that is set before my time, it is always a learning experience and fun to hear about things I haven't gotten to experience. By that note the Treasure of the Celtic circle also brought to the table, some lovely women, a few bad boys, and some mystery. Our main set of characters were young adults Florilyn and Percy who determined they were not suited to marry once engaged.

The beautifully written sequel to From Across the Ancient Waters, leaves you feeling good. The romance is satisfying and the spiritual journey of the characters is real and touching. Michael Phillips is a superb storyteller.
I received this book for free from the Goodreads first-read giveaway. A good Christian romance with several mysteries written in. A really happy ending; even the asshole of the book gets it together and turns out alright.
This book at the end dragged for me. I was able to guess what would happen and figured out the connections long before the characters did. It was obvious to me, but apparently not to the characters. That was a bit disappointing, but I was still pleased in the overall story.
The characters, seemed cooler and more reserved than usually found in a romance novel, and not so spiritual in their actions as described by their supposed character. Still an interesting plot with the usually unexpected twist found in fiction. Received free as a first read.
I loved this series. Man was it a page turner. I read a 432 page book in one day. That isn't like me. I loved the ending as well.

I enjoyed "The Treasure of the Celtic Triangle" although it was not at all what I thought it was going to be about when I signed up to win it. A very small part of the novel concerned actual buried treasure; the larger part concerned the treasure of a person's heart. The author kept referencing the author George MacDonald whom I have not encountered. The story was an enjoyable look at the movement of DL Moody Christians in Wales, Scotland and Ireland durin...more

I received this book free through the goodreads FIRST READS program
So first, I LOVE anything to do with Celtic stuff. I am just a fanatic with it and thats why I entered this giveaway. I was enthralled every inch of the way. There was a few times I got a little bored (but I think it had to do with a newborn sleep schedule than anything). I loved the detail of history and landscape in the book. It was just beautiful. It made feel like I was connected. The love of the characters shone brilliantly....more

I won this book on Goodreads. This book completes the stories from the first book, From Across the Ancient Waters. The author continues with his beautifully detailed descriptions of locations. The characters continue to grow spiritually as they work through their relationships. The stories about missing gold and the missing heir bring the book to it's conclusion with the author summarizing the futures of the characters instead of continuing with another book. These books are not quick reads and...more
