A review by mifterkim
Closer to Home by Mercedes Lackey
3.0
This is a fun book if somewhat insubstantial and light compared to some of Mercedes Lackey's other series; it is probably much more suitable for young readers than most of her books. Overall I enjoyed the ride, and I really like Mags and his friends as characters.
I was glad to read more of his adventures after reading the Collegium Chronicles, but like those books I found this one a little lacking in depth. I did like the lessened amounts of violence as compared to some of her other series, but I would have enjoyed more exploration of the themes and deeper questioning of the events and the world.
