– Customer review on 29/08/2006 I enjoy Mercedes Lackey books and this collection of stories is well written like her others. The idea of elves existing alongside us and who rescue/protect children in danger is an interesting one. However I wouldn't read this Otherworld series again. The detailed descriptions of children being physically, emotionally and sexually abused were just too much for me as a mother. I know they're neccessary for the plot, and that they're not presented as being a good thing in any way, but for weeks I could not get the disturbing images out of my head. Apart from that, they were an enjoyable read.
