4.0

I don't quite know what I think about the two volumes of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming.
I think I liked them quite a bit, and also that I didn't want to like them as much as I did. The story is an inner Hero's Journey, in two parts, or maybe two journeys, the first one dealing with self-esteem and anxiety, and the second with faith. There are plenty of outward adventures to go along with the inner searching, and it's a fun enough read. I can't decide if Our Hero's Mentor is fascinating or the most blatant wish-fulfillment ever - probably both, as I'm always up for a bit of wish fulfillment.
