4.0 out of 5 stars Elves and humans together can only mean trouble, 3 Oct 2005
By bookaholic - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Mad Maudlin (Bedlam's Bard) (Mass Market Paperback)
Once again Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill come together and write an enjoyable adventure fantasy about the world of Eric Banyon and his friends.

This book begins with the protector Rionne looking for her elven oath child Jaciel who seems to have run away from her. Unfortunately, she discovers that she will have to enter the abhorred upper world - the human world - to find him, but she will do anything for the child she has sworn to protect.

In the human world Magnus, Ace and Jaycie live together with other run-away kids in a condemned building in New York. They come from different backgrounds but have found a common denominator in their new lives - one of not wanting to be caught in the traps of prostitution and drugs.

Eric Banyon - our beloved Bard - is about to graduate from Julliard and seems to be getting his life together. In an attempt to tie the strings of his life together he decides to visit his parents. There he hopes to find closure, but instead he finds that he has a younger brother unbknown to him. This brother, Magnus, has also run away from home and Eric sets out to find him.

In all of these searches for children and a better future other stories are connected - one of "Bloody Mary" who seems to mean the death of anyone who sees her and "Fafnir" a human wanna-be Guardian.

As with the previous books in this series, "Mad Maudlin" kept me entranced to the end. I would certainly recommend this book.
