However, this tale has the modus operandi and ambiance of A Princess Bride meets Another Fine Myth. If this were a literary work on par with Charles Dickens or William Wordsworth, indubitably. Unless they're a word-hoard, the superabundance of ostentatious words which most juveniles, nevertheless numerous adults would grow weary looking up the definitions. At times, the story seems inclined towards an adult audience with several tongue-in-cheek innuendos, yet, this could be for youngsters, with one caveat. However, it becomes problematic when character names repeat excessively upon the same page, on nearly every page, it's quite annoying. It's entertaining, humorous and outrageous, brimming with action, heroes and brave hearts. I genuinely wanted to love the book, there's an enjoyable story base, gentlemanly duels between a wizard and a dragon. I'm rating the story with 3 stars a bit hesitantly.
