Castle On The Rise by Kristy Cambron

            Castle on The Rise is book two of Kristy Cambron's Lost castle series. This book tells the tale of three women whose lives are linked by their devotion to the Castle. The setting is Ireland and the Book has 3 stories running simultaneously. Maeve lives in 1798 at the beginning of the Irish rebellion. Issy is a photographer during The  Easter Rebellion of 1916. Laine lives in contemporary times. She travels to Ireland with a friend.

             I loved all the details of Irish life. The descriptions of the countryside and castle, plus the local pub with it's snugs was quite satisfying. After I got used to who belonged to which time period, I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series which will be released later this year.

So brew up a pot of Irish Breakfast tea and settle into your snug for a thoroughly enjoyable read!

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.


From Amazon:

A storied castle. A band of rebels.

A nation chasing a centuries-old dream of freedom.

And three women who rise above it all . . .

When Laine Forrester travels overseas to attend her best friend’s vineyard wedding, she expects to find the bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series of unforeseen setbacks, it seems the storybook lives they’d imagined are suddenly ripping apart.

With hopes of resurrecting a happy ending, Laine agrees to accompany the newlyweds to the groom’s home in Ireland—never expecting she’d be the one drawn in by its wide-open moors, backroads bordering the Irish Sea, and a mysterious castle that dares to keep its secrets hidden.

From the storied streets of Dublin to the shores of the Emerald Isle, Laine is drawn in to the land and its rich history. The castle ruins whisper stories of Issy—a photojournalist battling through the 1916 Easter Rising, and Maeve—the castle’s lady of legend, fighting for survival through the 1798 rebellion that started it all.

Spanning more than two centuries, Castle on the Rise unites the legacy of three women who must risk mending the broken places within for life, love, and the belief that even through the depths of our pain, a masterpiece of a story can emerge.

“Cambron’s latest is one of her best. Gripping and epic, this intricately woven tale of three generations seeking truth and justice will stay with you long after the last page.” —Rachel Hauck, New York Times bestselling author
