I’ll admit I had my doubts…being a newer fan to the fantasy genre, I wasn’t sure how a female would work in the stereotypical “male spot” of protagonist, so profoundly common throughout the...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“The Rise of the Wyrm lord by Wayne Thomas Batson is the second book in this intriguing trilogy. In this book Aidan and Anntonette are the main characters.This christian fantasy is a wonderful sequel to The Door Within. ”

Although darker than The Door Within, The Rise of the Wyrm Lord was as good or maybe even better than the first! This was definitely a page turner! I read more than half of it in one night! I can't wait to see what happens in The Final Storm!”

All around great. Granted, some might see it as "just another fantasy book", but it most certainly has characteristics that distinguish it from others in its genre.
For instance, there is an unlikely connection between Earth and The Realm... but I won't spoil that for you. :-D Also, there is a good dose of Biblical allegory, enough to inspire and appeal to Christian readers, yet not so much that the books would be termed "preachy" by most non-Christians. It would still be a marvelous book even without these themes.
This is also a welcome addition to the book world because, by almost all standards, it is clean. I have tried many other fantasy tales and been sorely disappointed by inappropriate words and references.
This book is emotional, as well. Beloved characters die, yet even in those times, there is hope...
I will mention that its main downside would be, in my opinion, the fact that there were a grammar issues that I found distracting. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the plot and characters so much that I still am giving this book all five stars.
Super-powered dragons, knights, damsels in distress, spies, sword duels, and wolvins. Find all this and more... if you dare to learn of the Rise of the Wyrm Lord.
WARNING: As a fellow victim, I feel obligated to inform you: should you reach the end of this book, you will find yourself completely incapable of NOT reading the next one. You might as well order the Final Storm right now.”
“Great book! I liked this one less than The Door Within and The Final Storm, but still GREAT!”
