The Gold-Son

By: Carrie Anne Noble

Narrated by: Gerard Doyle

All sixteen-year-old Tommin wants is to make beautiful shoes and care for his beloved grandmother, but his insatiable need to steal threatens to destroy everything. Driven by a curse that demands more and more gold, he's sure to get caught eventually.

When mysterious Lorcan Reilly arrives in town with his "niece," Eve, Tommin believes the fellow wants to help him. Instead, Lorcan whisks him off to the underground realm of the Leprechauns, where, alongside Eve, he's forced to prepare to become one of them.

As Lorcan's plans for his "gold-children" are slowly revealed, Tommin and Eve plan their escape. But with Tommin's humanity slipping away, the fate-crossed pair has everything to lose unless they can find a way to outsmart a magical curse centuries in the making.

Wasn't able to enjoy it as much as I expected

I thought this would be an interesting twist to a leprechaun story. I just couldn't get into it.
The narration was good. Usually the reader is what causes me to lack interest in a book. But, for this one, it was something about the story itself.
I think back and feel all the right parts were there and I should have liked it, but just couldn't. I liked the start of the book. I am not sure, but I am guessing it dragged on and that was the cause of my disinterest.

Very Interesting Story.

Unexpectedly delightful story. I really learned a lot about Leprechaun lore. It was great. The performance was nice.

Love Love Love

It’s like having a new fairytale to hold in my heart for all time. I can’t wait for the next one.

Human or Leprechaun, Love or Greed

I thoroughly enjoyed the audible presentation as much as I did another tour de force in the fantasy realm from Carrie Ann Noble. Leprechauns, gold, rainbows, servitude and no memories were what Tomen knew for so long, but coming back alive 2 centuries later leaves him well outside the law and offending magical worlds too.

Wonderful Story

The Gold-Son is a wonderful story written in the style of traditional folklore. I very much enjoyed the tale and the narration of the Brilliance Audio production.
