A Bad Simile

 I have recently finished The Staff and the Sword trilogy by Patrick W. Carr. I definitely recommend it if you want some Medieval-style fantasy from basically a Christian viewpoint.

There was just one bit that I'm not sure about. After they had a scare, he wrote a line something along the lines of "her heart was still skipping like a calf."

All I could think was "You might need to see a doctor about that."

Which only goes to show that you can have a good writer and a good story and still manage to get a bad simile past the editors.
