Worthy of Legend by Roseanna M. White
5.0
This moving finale to the ‘Secrets of the Isles’ series was both thoughtful, and romantic. It may even rival our beloved Sheridan from the second book…
Lady Emily, shunned from her family and feeling unworthy of love finally gets to star in her own adventure with Lord Telford, Bram Sinclair. Bram believing firmly in the chivalry of King Arthur and his knights Bram is drawn to Emily, determined to protect her from her ruthless brother. As Emily learns to see her worth in Christ she opens up to Bram and they are brought together while on the final quest for lost treasure on the Isles of Scilly.
Firstly, I want to acknowledge my appreciation for the flow of the romance thread. There were so many subtle yet tender moments between Lady Emily and Bram that were simply precious. Bram is so gentle with Emily, who is still struggling to see her worth after lifelong disregard from her father and brother and their love blossoms slowly but surely. It is absolutely beautiful and it really lends itself to the messages of true worth, chivalry, mercy, and love. These themes ultimately gave the story a real impact and depth.
I was so excited to finally get a glimpse of the world through Bram Sinclair’s eyes since we see him through the perspectives of multiple characters in the first two books. I came to admire him as a character and a love-interest for Lady Emily. I can unashamedly admit to crushing on him. I mean, come on! His secret obsession over Arthurian legend is positively endearing and I loved every tidbit on the legends included. I’ve always been fascinated by King Arthur and the Round Table, so getting little bits and pieces of that has me thinking I should go pick up my King Arthur book. Additionally, I got to see ‘Tristan and Isolde’ redeemed which was so utterly destroyed for me by the James Franco movie.
In short, ‘Worthy of Legend’ was the perfect ending to the story. It may have even been my favorite. -- I know! How could I pick this over Sheridan! -- Honestly, I don’t know. Something about this book touched me. I’m not exactly sure in what way yet, but I connected with it differently than the previous two.
Please go get yourself a copy of this lovely romance. Don’t miss the first two in the ‘Secrets of the Isles’ trilogy, they’re both beyond delightful and I hope you swing by Roseanna’s website to get a look at some of her other books too!
