So, I've finally read Isle of Swords, and I am curious as to what everybody eles thinks... remember the scene where Jacques blows up his shop to scare away the British soldiers, and it turns out later he escaped through a tunnel to escape the explosion? How could he get into the tunnel so fast... the fuse was almost gone. Anyways, any theories or does anybody know? |

idk, maybe it was right around the corner. but it must've had like a heavy stone or metal door or something cuz otherwise the explosion could spread through the tunnel...and that would take a while to close. |

My theory is that it's creative license! It's a great adventure in the book and a great getaway, we can leave it to Mythbusters to see if it's realistic or not. But's my understand that Mr. Batson likes writing things that aren't necessarily realistic!

So many books... so little time,But right now, God is having me write about a clone named Anthony Queen Illaria :You are the wise ruler of Yewland and a powerful ruler! You have an interesting relationship with Bolt and sadly you die in the Final Storm. Who Are U in The Door Within? | |

hmm...fantasy worlds parallel to our own, eyes that change color based on a person's belief, dragons, unicorns and other such creatures that don't exist.....what do you mean not realistic?! ...

Hmm... Very funny! Who says dragon's don't exist?!?! Read the book of Job, sounds like a dragon to me! Although, people who like to blow things up, that seems very realistic! |
