4 Stars/5
Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for
giving me this book to review.
Closer to the Chest
is a very enjoyable book which goes at a variable pace which starts off slow and
builds to a crescendo by the end. The story can be a bit predictable as it
follows the outline of many other Mercedes Lackey books, it does not mean it is
any less enjoyable for that.
My favourite
character is Nicholas, because whilst most Heralds are meant to be practically
perfect, Nicholas shows that they still have some human foibles. The villains
are a new one, and it can be predictable because you know that they're going to
be beaten however it is always interesting to find out how they lose, and why
they're doing this.
I enjoyed Closer to the Chest and would recommend it to
readers of the earlier Magsseries
and readers of other Mercedes Lackey books.
