A rumor of dragons—— by Michael A. Heald

A book review by Darcy Anna Low.

A dragon that swims instead of flying. A prince with no hands. A wizard with a sword. A girl with a strange ability to talk to animals, or “senses” their feelings. They all work together to try to foil the evil plans of a great dark dragon, using their abilities to help themselves and each other. An adventure, a romance, a mystery… this book really made me not want to put it down. It was exciting and you really wanted to know what happened next.
I loved how Micheal A. Heald kept the book going. It was very hard to put down, but its volume of pages often forced me to. It is a long book, but you really don’t mind too much. Just hate when you got to stop to go eat, do homework or take out the trash. His introduction is wonderful, a party for the youngest prince coming of age. That immediately told me the prince was not a normal one. The protagonist’s nature is to go looking for trouble, so it was easy to slide from a castle to a slime-dripping cave. Heald’s descriptions of the land and the characters were wonderful, only revealing certain things about the characters’ appearances when the information was related to something in the plot. His writing style shows an adventure with plenty of description, which I was pleased to find. I cannot wait for the next book in his series!

oh! this book is part of a series, so you should know it ends in a cliff hanger. That is not a spoiler either, you can tell it’s coming. This just makes you want to get the next one, hehe. pretty sneaky huh?

This is one of the best books I have read, and i recomend it to anybody. be sure to get the whole series, you will be glad you did.
