Review of Druid by Sydney Brianna

Buy Druid
​I just finished Druid, by Sydney Brianna, and I highly recommend this unique blend of epic fantasy and contemporary romance! Druid is like getting two books in one. 

Druid includes steamy scenes with explicit sex. It is meant for adults. All sex is consensual, male/female, and there is no BDSM (bondage, domination, sadism, masochism).

There are so many things to love about Druid. First, the characters.  Cináed is a fabulous hero. He’s protective, powerful, and kind. Scarlet is my favorite kind of heroine, smart, feisty and strong enough to hold her own. Though Cináed has his Druid magic and centuries of experience with life, he does not understand modern society and needs Scarlet’s help in negotiating the contemporary world. Scarlet thinks she is a normal woman, but there is much more to her than she knows. They are perfectly matched.

The plot contains plenty of conflict with Cináed’s group, the Custodes Pacis, striving to prevent Ragnorak, the battle foretold by Norse mythology that will destroy the gods and end the world.

World building in Druid is detailed and immersive with a well-developed magic system and an intricate history including characters from Norse and Greek mythology who come across as realistic and complex.

Most of all, the journey that Cináed and Scarlet make, both outwardly and inwardly, to save themselves and those they love, the sacrifices they make for each other, and the courage they show as they overcome one obstacle after another, kept me rooting for them from beginning to end.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Titan, release date April 30, 2023.
