In A Darkness at the Door, Rae must escape her captors and must fight a massive child snatching conspiracy in the kingdom. Magic is seamless in a plot that is intricately crafted. The protagonist is clever and gutsy as she navigates dangerous situations, and she is more likeable in this book than the prior in the series. The romance is fun because the love interest is a thief and outlaw who opposes her quest for more formal means of justice. The resolution on this series is fulfilling, for both the main storyline and for tying off loose ends.
