Official Review: Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibil...
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility" by Robert William Hult.]
Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility, a book by Robert William Hult, is a story about the battle between good and evil throughout time. It is a story of a boy who learns the value of his own ideas, and of evil that will always find a way to change and adapt.
The story starts with Bing, our main character, desperately trying to reach his burning home. The tragedy of his family's death goes uninterrupted, and Bing finds himself alone with only a mirror for company. His solitude is quickly broken by two beings suddenly arriving at his home. The first is an old, small man who arrived from the past to help Bing who calls himself Time Dancer, or TD for short. The second is Adabega, a dragon shapeshifter who is determined to destroy Bing before he is a threat to him. Having now met two impossible beings, Bing is suddenly plunged into the Timestream. The Timestream is the connection between all worlds and times, and holds creatures and worlds that both have never existed and will exist at some point. The mysterious Time Dancer then tells Bing the most surprising fact of this whole situation. Bing have been chosen to be a Time Dancer, and the savior of time from Adabega.
The story is already charming, and only continues being so from beginning to end. There is one aspect of the book that I liked the most out of all the charming parts, and that is the character Time Dancer. Time Dancer can be considered the mentor figure of the book, but in a difference from other mentor figures, actually acts like a mentor. He is very warm to the understandably upset Bing, and actually protects Bing from the dangers of time and Adabega until he have learned enough to protect himself. I appreciated that Bing had a teacher who actually tried to teach him, and did not let him blindly fumble his way through his journey.
No book is perfect, however, and Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility is no different. While I appreciated that Time Dancer taught Bing, his teachings could drag the book down and make some portions of the story slower than it should have been. The book is not the most edited story and features errors such as misspelled words. I wouldn’t call it full of errors, but the errors were present throughout the book and I could notice them easily. These errors took me out of the story, and made my experience less enjoyable than it could have been.
Taking all into account, I will give Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility 3 out of 4 stars. While the story was great and the characters charming, I simply cannot give it more stars because the errors were too many and distracting. I would recommend this book for younger audiences that enjoy fantasy, but I would recommend that they not be too young as this book features intense danger and some scenes of death and wars.
In the many places in time, I look forward to seeing Bing again.

The basic ideas are very classic, but can be still very enjoyable if they're well developed, as it seems in this novel. Thank you for your review!
