I first followed Mr. Batson's blog about a few months ago, and thought that getting his books out of the library would be a really good idea. However, procrastinator that I am, I kept on forgetting until one day I randomly happened to pick up one of his books off the library shelves! (Where do I recognize that name? Oh, yeah, it's that dude that had all those cool books!)
Wondering if it was a providential 'coincidence', I took the book home ('The Door Within', which is the first book of the trilogy) and began to read it.
It was AWESOME!!!!! I read it in one sitting, with the exception of getting up to do my chores :)
First off, it's an allegory, and it was very good to read spiritually. It made me think, 'Wow! If you put it in the way that resisitng temptation is like having a sword fight, I think I'll try harder!". Next, the characters were really strong. Sir Mallick is one of my favorites! :D And Bolt, of course *sniff*. It didn't take me long to read the next two in the series! Third, all the sword fighting and action kept me completely hooked. As I have mentioned before, one thing that really draws me into a book is all the adventure...and this trilogy has TONS of adventure!
You must, absolutely MUST, read these!
Oh, and click HERE to get to Mr. Batson's blog. I would suggest it!

I agree, it was a very good series. Though some parts had some STRONG LotR influence.:)
