Eric Banyon has more to worry about than passing his courses at Julliard. The evil elf lord Aerune, whose love was killed by mortal men, is determined to destroy the human race. Eric's only hope of stopping Aerune is to trap him inside a magical maze, from which there is no escaping.

saving the world 101

As I've greatly enjoyed the "Arrows" and "Herald Mage" series by Mercedes Lackey, I'm disappointed to find the "Bedlam's Bard" one so lackadaisical. This installment has Eric attending a Naming ceremony for his daughter in the elven Underhill, which was a nice diversion, however, the events outside were lackluster. An elf lord has managed to enslave a human servant and plans to use her to destroy the world. (Yes, again.) A character from the first two books, Kayla, a teenage Empath who is attending Columbia, makes an appearance, and is a spunky addition, but like other reviewers have pointed out, she would be closer to thirty years old, if the author had been true to the timeline. Also, there are a LOT of descriptions of what everyone is eating and wearing - warning: the book may make you ready for a snack or at least a bottle of designer water. This book wasn't really any worse than the others in the series, but then it wasn't really much better either.

Elves at Juilliard and the Nakamichi Dragon

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2002

Verified Purchase

Drawing on six or eight different traditions of magic and folktales, Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edgehill have poured it all in a magic cauldron and swirled up a terrific sequel to Beyond World's End. Where else can you find a blue-skinned Rick in Casablanca, or a fox with nine tails that sounds like a street huckster (wanna see what I got under da coat?) or a dragon whose main interest is his Nakamichi CD player. This book has nearly everything: gargoyles, good elves, bad elves, tyrannical music professors, and slow talking hillbilly musicians who turn into Bard Guardians. I _still_ wanna ride Lady Day. This book is complex, funny, wise, and a whacking good read.

Urban Elves -- what more could a fantasy lover want?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2013

The Eric Banyon series of books starts off with a bang and just keeps right on delivering. The central story about Eric, a fully trained Bard who is back at Julliard to prove his musical ability is the equal of his Magical ability is fabulous. The B story, with a science fiction crowd of evil government agencies trying to prove the Elves are Alien Invaders is much weaker, but still a lot of fun.

Another great Elf read

Quite simply loved it. Not a much meandering around time, space and boring details. I love the characters an Love the story. Be warned of several story twists through many different characters. You have to keep up. I'm not going to spoil any story here but I will say that there are some threads left dangling.. all in all though, very entertaining!!
