Trilogy that you MUST read!!

The Door Within Trilogy--by Wayne Thomas Batson.










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!

Book Review: 'The Final Storm'

Yes, I know I'm reviewing this out of order. I've read all the books in the Trilogy, but I think I returned the second one to the library already, and the first is up in my room (basically, I'm too lazy to walk out of the school-room, step over Tristan pushing Mathilda's pink doll stroller around, hoist myself over the gate that's up to keep Tristan from going up the stairs, run all the way up the staircase, walk down the hall, go into my room, and get the book off my over-flowing book shelf. Isn't my life horrible?), and the third was on the computer desk. How handy!

By the way, the following is off the back of the book.

'The Final Storm' by Wayne Thomas Batson
#3 of the Door Within Trilogy

'Paragor, the betrayer of King Eliam, unites with the Wyrm Lord and the Seven Sleepers to launch a full-scale assault on the kingdom of Alleble. While Alleble and it's allies prepare to face the coming onslaught, they cling to an ancient legend about three witnesses who have the power to bring victory. But is the legend true? And if it is, where are they? Time is running out as darkness spreads over the realm, and paragor unleashes the final storm.

IT WAS AWESOME!

There. Now to be more specific...all the characters were very well introduced. I really liked Sir Mallick and Sir Nock. I actually liked all of the characters! It was a really, really good allegory. Way better than mine. The romance in it is pure, and all around it was really good. Nothing negative.

Definately read it!

P.S. I think I'm going to stop calling Wallace, Mathilda, and Tristan by those names, and instead call them by their Elven names, which are (in the same order as above): Eristor, Luthien, and Galdor.
