Joan Richmond reviewed Knight of the Sword (Of Knights and Wizards Book 3) Knight of the Sword (Book 3) June 16, 2016Gave this book a 5-star rating because I felt it deserved it. Marcus, the young & new wizard is still learning how to use the magic he has acquired. His friendship with the young dragon, Ash, is developing into something very special. I particularly enjoyed the way all the different characters come together as each chapter continues. Loved the dragons & the magic used throughout the story. Would be happy to read more of the adventures of these people.Nov 10, 2014Dianne rated it FIVE STARS it was amazingShelves: own, action-and-adventure, wizards, well-developed-characters, epic-fantasyOnce again A.

Mr. Gallant does an excellent job molding his characters without slowing the story, I Could mentally see each character in my mind, picture each scene and laugh at some of the unexpected events that occur. Not your typical fantasy, but a fascinating read that sometimes tips you a little off center with its rough charm, A. J. Gallant has done his job, again! I was entertained, taken to another word, I laughed, I was mesmerized, I journeyed near and far with a cast of quirky, brave and sometimes gross characters that almost started to feel like friends. Gotta love baby dragons! A unique series that doesn't' quite fit the mold one would expect and I have loved every book for that reason.Series: Of Knights and Wizards - Book 3Publication Date: October 20, 2014Publisher: A J.
