Comment on Thought-Provoking YA Fantasy by Sharon Geraghty

Love the Dauntless Path series by Intisar Khanani! I just did an arc read and review of the conclusion, A Darkness at the Door. It is a great read which tackles difficult and even controversial concepts. A solid Christian worldview would be important for a teen to be able to read “Darkness” and not be swayed into thinking that ethics should be swayed by situations. Khanani does not necessarily promote situational ethics; the protagonist agonizes over certain decisions, but she does excuse it a bit too easily for me given the YA market the books are targeting. I love how The Theft of Sunlight and A Darkness as the Door essentially form one storyline. The character development is superb, especially when the two books are read as one.
