The Three Doors Trilogy

review 1: Rye has rescued both of his brothers: Dirk, the oldest, from the golden door, and Sholto, the middle brother, from the silver door. But the source of the skimmers who are attacking Weld, and the Enemy who is sending them, was not found behind either. Rye himself has always been drawn to the wooden door, the third door. And now he finally gets to see what's inside . . .The interesting thing about this book, like the whole series, is how it takes folktale tradition and uses it, but also spins it on its head. One of my favorite bits of self-reference was when a character explains he was drawn to the golden door but chose the wooden one because in fairy tales the humblest door is always the best choice (in a way, though, he's not wrong---once Rye figures out the real meaning o... moref the three doors, he also learns why the wooden door is the only one that isn't a guaranteed exile from Weld).Rye continues to grow up. This time, it isn't so clear who is good and who is not, or what might be done even when the evil is discovered. It's a story that explores consequences. Rye's slaying of Olt has much further-reaching repercussions than he could have imagined. Also, a number of confusing little details from The Silver Door suddenly make perfect sense.It's also nice to get more depth on characters like Sholto, who amusingly enough has a softer side he's embarrassed to show.Read the first two books before reading this one to get the full impact of the story. It's a very tight trilogy, with no wasted detail, and is worth a re-read to catch all the additional implications once the final mystery is unraveled. I rate this book Highly Recommended.
review 2: The time has finally come for Rye and Sonia to go through the wooden door. After trying, unsuccessfully, to warn the Warden and the people of Weld of the danger they are facing from the Lord of the Shadows, they start their third and final adventure, but this time, with both of Rye's brothers along from the start. As they begin their journey, they notice that the forest holds malice for them, and they feel that the Fellan do not want them there. They soon arrive in a small village, just in time for the leader, Chieftain Farr, to solidify his plans for an attack on the enemy of the people. Farr is resisting the pressure to attack, but after there are multiple attempts on the lives of his family, he decides he has no other choice. It is up to Rye and Sonia to discover who the enemy is, and then untangle the history of a forgotten treaty before it is too late.I loved this series, and this book was the perfect ending. There were quite a few times I was taken by surprise, which doesn't happen very often for me when I read. I especially enjoyed the unique way author was able to pull the stories from all three books together to complete the story. less
