E-Book Review: The Dragon Ring by Maggie Secara

The Dragon Ring, by Maggie Secara is an e-book put out by Crooked Cat Publishing, an e-book company based in the UK.

All in all, it is a good read, but there are a few issues, mainly the mechanics of the writing. In university English, one is taught that when writing, less is more; that is, don't write ten words when you can say it in five, and still get the message across. I also found the juxtaposition of Shakespeare, Norse mythology and Faerie a bit jarring.

However, having said that, I loved Raven's character; he was very "Puckish", which went nicely with the Midsummer Night's Dream bent of the novel. Ben's character was very sympathetic and the dichotomy of what he really wanted to do, and what he felt he should do, is something I'm sure many of us can relate to.

I don't want to give away too much more, so read it for yourself. It is, overall, an entertaining book. I'd give it a 7/10.
