Deltora reading descends into a little bit o' darkness

My dear friend who originally set up my addiction to Deltora was not too hot on this particular trilogy. Frankly, I loved it. Ms. Rodda took a chance with a rather traditional fantasy/sci-fi approach and it worked with a fresh Deltora twist. But that's all in the end. The majority of this trilogy is a mission to save the enslaved of the contintent, the means a journey through underground kingdoms of a forgotten people who had their own nasty run-in with the Enemy. As with DQ, the stories are full of delicious fantasy and puzzles, with serious nods to the hard-learned wisdom of listening to past mistakes. I will admit these are darker books, but the writing and the imagination is none less for that.
