The Final Storm was a good book, although King Eliam was not quite painted in as much splendor as he deserved and the battles got involved and muddled at the end.   I think that there should have been a little less stress on Robby & the other's choosing, and more on their trust of King Eliam.   That aside, it was pretty cool to see Robby turn out as a friend after the awful scare we all received with his dad, who turns out to be Paragor's second in the Other Realm!   Really that part was done well, like when Robby finds that his friendship with Aidan was stronger and more compelling than all the flattery, lies and violence coming from his dad and the Glimpses from Paragor.   Trenna the huntress was an interesting addition to the character list too, and Robby's rescue of her from the spiders was a good point.   Maybe my favorite part (besides the epic ending) is how Robby tames the cranky untame dragon Splinter and how Aidan's big pet mortiwraith friend comes to his and Antoinette's rescue when no-body else can.   Really the best though was when Aidan posed as Blarrak, a slopppy Paragor knight, and went into the Gates of Despair to rescue Antoinette! (and of course he did).   But it's never easy, because Aidan's commander Drang, and Kearn, Robby's mean Glimpse double, suspect!   Find out just how he does it, with Antoinette & an aged sage to keep track of, and Drang on his tail with a half-dozen men!

While exploring his grandfather’s basement he discovers three things that leads him into action that he has never dreamed of, let alone been in. Immersed into legends of betrayal, training to be an elite Knight, and learning to trust the true King. Deep fears but deeper truths and strong evils but stronger goods. Can Aidan do what he didn’t think could be done? Aidan an ordinary boy with an ordinary life, that changes all to soon.

As the final battle between Alleble and Paragory draws near, Aidan’s friend Robby joins Alleble’s forces. As good and evil clash it is up to Aidain, Robby, and Antionette to save Alleble. The only way is to trust in the One True King, but will the three friends choose to follow their King? I definitely recommend this book for any teenager.

Darkness begins to envelope the Realm as the evil usurper, Paragor, begins to unleash his forces. The Glimpses, inhabitants of the Realm, still loyal to the good King Eliam must stand strong and be wiling to sacrifice their all for the hope of finally defeating Paragor. Aidan and Antoinette, both teens from our world who we met in the previous books, both meet in the realm as they attempt to escape from Paragor's clutches. They find the Realm a very different place; they find the Realm a world preparing for the biggest battle, the final storm. Will they be able to get out of Paragory alive? Will the forces of the King win? Will the legendary heroes prophesied to bring victory show up? Find out in the Final storm. I must say that I love the way that everything culminates in the final book. Heroes use what they have learned, characters that we have not seen in a long time show up, and the puzzle becomes clear. This book also shows, which is my favorite thing about it, that death is not the end for Christians. However, I felt bogged down a lot by conversations that seemed to slow the plot down. Some elements of the story came almost too fast in places, and the reader suddenly learns a very important fact about Antoinette in a sudden comment she makes. It seems to me that the fact should have been presented in a more attention-getting way, because a reader could very well be confused or miss the new revelation entirely. All in all, I recommend this book to readers age nine and up. Fantasy and adventure fans alike will highly enjoy this epic fantasy. As an avid fan of Mr. Batson's work, I can tell you, it only gets better from here! The Final Storm by Wayne Thomas Batson is the exciting conclusion to the Door Within Trilogy.
