Some of the concepts were truly creepy. And one scene had me lost in the story, which doesn’t happen often for me. I thought this book was a step up from the first.

I would definitely say that book 2 in The Door Within Trilogy is cool.   Here, Aidan (main hero who has been to Alleble and become a Knight in the service of King Eliam) meets Antoinette, the human double of the girl he *liked a lot* in Alleble.   At first he doesn't recognize her because she is part of the 'trench coat clan' and has dyed her hair red.    That problem is quickly solved when they start sword-fighting in her backyard and she bloodies his nose.   After learning out all she can from him about Alleble, Antoinette is surprised to see Aelic, (Aidan's Glimpse double) in a brief encounter in which he orders her to come to Alleble because she's been called.   So!   Antoinette promptly enters The Door Within and crosses the long bridge to Alleble, where she is chosen as the Twelfth Knight to go on a dangerous mission to the realm of Yewland, where Queen Illaria reigns and has begun threatening that her woodland kingdom of brave archers will join the ruthless and deadly Paragor and separate from Alleble.   All that Antoinette can think about, after a few harrowing scrapes in Yewland, is what Aidan told her before she left Earth: his best friend Robby's Glimpse double had joined the enemy Paragor, which meant that his human double was in grave danger!   And Antoinette just saw Robby's glimpse, a menacing young fellow called Kearn!   At the end of the book, we are faced with a troubling decision: will Antoinette stay in safety or will she pursue Kearn in hopes of rescuing him???   Find out in The Rise Of the Wyrm Lord, Book Two in The Door Within Series! Warning, spoilers ahoy!

The Rise of the Wyrm Lord has characters that seem so real, a land that I could really understand, one that didn't feel too foreign or too familiar. Genuinely creative ideas are placed throughout this book, with a good balance of drama and humor, even a splash of romance. Antoinette is a headstrong character with passion and strength, something that I've noticed many of the female characters in Mr. Batson's book to posses. I really related to Antoinette perhaps more so than I did to Aidan because of the martial arts training, her tendency to make decisions on impulse, and the general way she acted in the story. Many girls will relate to the main character of this book. I also enjoyed the action and adventure in this book. There are many battles scenes, both triumphant and sorrowful, but not too gory or out-of-touch that the reader feels confused. The author keeps the reader turning the pages with his knowledgeable explanation of the characters actions. The writing style of this book is good, although not flawless. The speech of the characters at times seems too plain and sometimes seems to flowery. Characters seemed blurry, as if they shared the thoughts of other characters or had the same personality. However, as a person who enjoys writing, I know how hard it can be to pull of an epic story like this, and I commend Mr. Batson for a job well done. I highly recommend this book to fans of fantasy.
