Bedlam's Bard series by Mercedes Lackey with Ellen Guon and Rosemary Edghill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars (Series Overall)
This was a re-read of the Bedlams's Bard series. I originally read these books, when they were first published, and devoured them as soon as each was published.
Urban fantasy before it was called Urban Fantasy. At the time I remember being entranced and thrilled with the changes and modernization of fantasy.
Years, Decades later this series still rings true, it is enjoyable, enchanting Mercedes Lackey. With a bit of magic, hard looks into cultures and places that were not so common in Fantasy books at the time, Just enough disturbing looks into real issues and the plight of runaways and children mixed with the good vs evil and struggles of not just the humans, but also the magical and Fae in this world.
I will say I was again a little disappointed when the world moved from the enchanting world of the Re-Faires to the streets of New York - breaking this into 2 series within one.
