such a fun addition to the Librarians series ! There is magic, mayhem and mystery in this book, all one could wish for. There are rogue leprechauns, bad guys, a story spanning ages, and pots of gold !! hello !! This was a rollicking good read, perfect for anyone that watched the series.

A review of this title is avaliable through Goodreads - and later through my blog. The Goodreads link is available below!

4.5🌟

I loved the TV show and was excited to read this series when I found out about it. I do think some of the fun gets lost because of the change in medium but overall it was still a very enjoyable read. The personality of each Librarian is captured perfectly. The adventure definitely seems like one we would have seen on the show. I liked all of the twists and turns of the story even though I was able to guess some of the reveals but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. I would recommend this to fans of the show.

I received an eARC from Netgalley and the publisher; All opinions are my own.

The third, and apparently final, part of the Librarians tie-in books came out after the series ended (and there was much mourning among the fans).

As you might guess from the title, The Librarians and the Pot of Gold by Greg Cox deals with... leprechauns, banshees and faerie changelings. Oh, and the Brotherhood of Serpents (and remember, St Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland).

The Brotherhood, in the time of St Patrick, used an infant to force a Leprechaun to hand over his pot of gold. The Librarian interferes, and the Leprechaun escapes with the baby, while the Brotherhood loses one of their people, and the gold as well.

In the present time, a group is trying to track down the Leprechaun again, still wanting his pot of gold. Or more to the point, they want to pot for nefarious purposes. The Librarians, while trying to stop this plot, are also pulled into the case of an Irish style pub being plagued by a Banshee. Gee, could these events be connected.

The fun thing about the tv show was just how tongue in cheek it was (stealing Santa's sled? Why not?). Greg Cox does a great job of matching that tone in his spinoff books. I just hope that Tor books will continue with the books, even if the TV show is gone,

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for letting me read this

Absolutely loved this book so very much. I love the show and have repeatedly watched it. The author clearly knows the characters because I could visualize the characters and their unique mannerisms on every page. The characters were exactly what I remember from the TV show, and the story was well thought out and well written. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to read the rest of Greg Cox's books. Definitely a 5/5 for me!

A novel based on the TV show The Librarians. For a thousand years the library has protected the world from magical items. Another great adventure with the librarians. As always full of detail and world building, especially around the magical items and in this case a leprechaun!

For millennia, the Librarians have secretly protected the world by keeping watch over dangerous magical relics. Cataloging and safeguarding everything from Excalibur to Pandora’s Box, they stand between humanity and those who would use the relics for evil.
I am a fan of the show, so I had to try this. This is the second Librarians book I’ve read and they were both just as good as the the show. I recommend for anyone that’s a fan of the show or of adventures!
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

If you enjoy The Librarians movies and TV show then I recommend this book. You'll enjoy the story here and like visiting the characters you enjoy from TV too. The same adventure to enjoy in a different form.

First off, let me just say that I absolutely adore The Librarian movies and The Librarians TV series. This is the third media tie-in novel, and I have yet to be disappointed. Now, having said all of that, I will also say that each of these novels is a complete story and you do not need to read them in their order of release. Of course, you will appreciate them more if you have seen the show, because there are many references to events that have happened. The first book takes place in the first season, the second book in the second season, and this third book takes place in the middle of the third season.

Greg Cox is an author I trust to do well with tie-in novels. He has written in many different fandoms and very clearly knows what he’s doing. Each of the characters is brilliantly written on the page, harnessing their individual quirks and mannerisms and even their way of speaking. And, based on the accuracy of information about events in the series, I would say that Greg Cox has watched all of the show as well.

Getting to join Eve Baird, Jacob Stone, Ezekiel Jones, Cassandra Cillian, and Jenkins on yet another adventure was everything I wanted it to be. Their growth and development since the beginning has been fantastic, and I love seeing them use their talents in a way that best suits the tasks at hand. Seeing them delve through history and deal with the magical reinterpretations of those events is always such a fascinating experience.

There is plenty of drinking and time spent in pubs during this particular adventure, which I’d expect when dealing with Saint Patrick’s Day and leprechauns.

This book is filled with information, action, witty banter, danger, close calls, and magical gizmos, just as I’ve come to expect from all forms of this series. It was an entertaining ride, and I’m glad I finally got around to reading it.

Now I just get to sit back and hope that even though the show ended after four seasons we will get more of the books. Please? More Librarians books? Or a comic series? I’ll take whatever I can get because I’m not ready to let these characters and their world-saving adventures go.

This was really, really hard to get into. The show isn't on any longer (I think, unless they get revived again...) and so it's been awhile since I watched Baird, Cassandra, Stone, and Ezekiel (and Jenkins) save the world, a lot.

Once I got into it though, it was just like another Librarians episode, which is always nice.

It started with a short bit of a Phantom of the Opera adventure that was pretty normal for the Librarians.

Then they get into their big honkin' story of the book. There were snakes of all sorts, serpents, and Brotherhood of the Serpents. There was also Leprechauns which was cool (as long as they're not the Leprechauns of the horror movie series I'm good with them). And the Librarians meet a lady w ho may nor may not be marked for death.

As usual there's a lot going on (so, so much), but, also things slowly come into focus and thankfully there's no Flynn for most of the book.

There was a tiny bit of 'Cassandra may not be totally straight' subtext in there, but, not enough in my estimation. I wish that they'd just have given her a small multi-episode sort of story line instead of the one sorta wishy washy episode. Ah well.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Macmillan-Tor/Forge.

Felt like just a script of an episode of the tv show. I would skip these books and just watch the show

I’ve been watching the movies and TV shows for years and was quite surprised and elated to discover there are books are well. This was a fun little ride through USA, Ireland and the Faerie realm to find a certain pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
All of our favourite characters are there; Colonel Eve Baird, Jacob Stone, Cassandra Cillian, Ezekiel Jones, and Jenkins, with a brief mention of Flynn Carsen.
I’m not up to date on the TV show so I’m not sure where this book fits into the timeline but I think it takes place after season 3.
Even though the author is a tad heavy handed with the thesauruses, I will seek out the other books. This was an enjoyable romp with our favourite librarians.
ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Greg Cox brings the librarians into the fight against the Serpent Brotherhood in the Librarians and the Pot of Gold. The Librarians have to find a fabled pot of gold and save a colleen and leprechaun; magic, the paranormal and Irish myth collide. Lots of action; great story line.

This is entertaining, I really enjoyed it!I enjoyed following the adventure and the characters were so well developed!I have watched the show and I find it so close to what I watched!There was good build up and pacing of the story line. So you will not get bored at all!

While not quite as strong as the first two Librarians adventures from Greg Cox, The Librarians and the Pot of Gold was still a fun read with some clever twists and enjoyable escapes.

In keeping with the formula of the show, Cox opens the novel with an adventure that has nothing to do with the primary storyline, giving us the final moments of an encounter with a contemporary Phantom of the Opera. It's a shame the stories weren't flipped, as these chapters are the strongest in the book, complete with a great setting, an expanded fictional mythology, fantastic action scenes, and moments for the characters to shine.

The main story does have its surprises, starting with the arrival of a haunted young woman at the Library doors, but it felt like there were too many elements thrown into the pot (of gold) for it all to work. You've got the destruction of an Irish monument; the discovery of an oddly non-magical tomb; the haunting of a young bartender by a legitimate banshee; and the rise of the Serpent Brotherhood under a new leader. Some great stuff there, but there's just not enough story to do it justice.

It doesn't help that the leprechaun plot, which is intended to tie everything together, is so weak. It's a thin bit of storytelling, using the old clichés as a crutch rather than twisting them in new ways, as a good Librarians tale does. They're just not that interesting, and the pages invested in them would have been better spent on the other aspects of the story. I really liked what Cox did with the banshee, and the way it played into the climax is what kept me reading through to the end, but I felt like the Serpent Brotherhood deserved so much more.

All that said, this is still a Librarians adventure, and with the series having been canceled, it's a fun extension of the Librarians universe. Cox does a stellar job of capturing the character personalities, and manages to walk the fine line between introducing new readers to the world and satisfying long-time fans. Apparently, this was the last book of his contract, but hopefully Tor will keep the series alive, either with Cox or another author.

Greg Cox has a long list of successful book adaptations, and The Librarians and the Pot of Gold is no exception. It genuinely is like reading an episode of the now sadly cancelled series. That being said, I'm not sure that The Librarians is a particularly book-friendly series. The show is highly visual and while Cox captures that, it sometimes leads to ponderous descriptions or chapters that do little to advance the plot but much to advance the sense of this being a "real" librarian adventure.

As a fan of The Librarians television show, I was thrilled at the opportunity to visit the world of the Library again thanks to NetGalley. The Librarians and the Pot of Gold is simply a fun, fast-past, diverting adventure tale making it perfect for fans of the show or young teens. I particularly enjoyed learning a little bit about Irish folklore and mythology.

An interesting premise, mostly well-executed. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with the previous books in this series when I began reading and so it took me a while to get up to speed. It was clear this was an ongoing series and so I felt lost from the beginning and never really caught up when things were alluded to that weren't even briefly explained.

However, that aside, I loved the integration and adaptation of the mythology and felt the character interaction was good. Though I always felt like I was playing catch-up, I was able to enjoy the story more as it went along.

Thanks to #NetGalley, the publisher and Greg Cox for the opportunity to read this ARC of "The Librarians and the Pot of Gold" in return for a fair and honest review.
I have to start off by saying that I've watched every episode to date of "The Librarians" and enjoyed them immensely. So having the opportunity to read one of their adventures was something I could not pass up.
From 5th Century Ireland to modern-day Paris and then back to the USA, this is a typical Librarians adventure full of magic, mystery, treachery and heroics.
In ancient Ireland, a leprechaun (yes, they exist!) turns traitor to the Brotherhood of the Serpent's Lady Sibella, and rescues a baby from sacrifice, as well as a Pot - with a little assistance from Saint Patrick (Padraig) and Erasmus, the Librarian.
Cut to the Grand Opera House in Paris where the Phantom (a direct descendant? the original?) has retrieved a great masterpiece and threatens to kill a theater full of opera lovers by playing it in his underground lair while fighting off Ezekiel Jones and Jacob Stone; meanwhile Guaradian Eve Baird and Librarian Cassandra Cillian are aboveground, hoping to stave off disaster - just in the nick of time.
Having again saved the day, the Librarians and their Guardian repair to the Library's Annex in Oregon where there's a knocking on the door! (Nobody ever knocks on the door of the Library.)
And thereby begins the main adventure of the book which includes a young, Irish barkeep being haunted by a banshee, the thefts of multiple pots of gold from leprechauns, a changeling, a (possibly ancient) leprechaun and the Librarians' nemesis, the Brotherhood of the Serpent.
Anyone familiar with the television series or the previous books knows what they are in for in this one: action, peril, magic, etc.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

This is an adventure story and it's like Indiana Jones meets the Shadowhunters with leprechauns thrown in the mix. I did enjoy the book, but I found many elements of the style very jarring. It reads like a YA comic book in terms of the action and the humour and the overpowered superheroes, except when obscure, highbrow vocabulary is used. The scenes seem to break and the narrative shifts rather abruptly, and there are odd uses of rewinding scenes to see what happens to other characters with an immersion breaking, "A few minutes before..." line.

The plot licked along at a decent pace, but I found the many, many throwaway references to earlier adventures and backstories really frustrating. These felt like they were teasing me and I often found myself wishing I was reading that story instead of this one. After reading I found this was the third book in a series, which I wish I'd known before I started.

The characters are great, really interesting and I love the whole setup with the library. There were also a surprising amount of laughs. Though I did struggle with the choppy style, I would like to read more in this series.
