Thanks
The light novels are adaptations of the anime's first season, so the basic story is the same, but there are differences. Some events get better explanations and others get less attention than in the anime. I've heard that the first few volumes aren't the best but that the series improves towards the end, so you might want to check that out if you have the opportunity.

I'm hoping to try and read at least one or two of the volumes myself in order to see this directly. Whenever I get around to that, a review or summary of the most important differences might be posted in this forum thread if I ever remember to do so.
