Eric Banyon, musician, is out playing the blues on his flute one day, but he couldn't have known that the desperate sadness of his music would free a young elven noble from the magical prison he has been languishing in for centuries - nor does he believe it!

I think the story is probably great; but, I had moments with this story where I felt I was losing interest. I’ve never experienced that with a Mercedes Lackey book. I hate that it was my experience with this one, especially as it’s the first of a series. The performance style was dated, the narrator’s voice wasn’t great, his character voices were occasionally unappealing, and his renderings of the various emotions didn’t read true. I hate to leave a series unfinished but his delivery pulled me out of the story too often. IF I finish these, it will be in hard copy or kindle.

Good story but the narrator isn’t up to par

I love it. I just wish the rest of the series was on Audible so I could continue listening.

excellent.

I hope they put the rest of them up-this series is fantastic. The narrator is not the greatest, but eh, at least in this book Eric was stoned most of it. Maybe, like Eric, he'll get his shit together in the next one...

Great series

I was taken back in time. Remembering when I first read this book, hearing it come to life was beyond what I could of hoped for. I have been waiting for this series to come to Audible so that once again I could be taken away to the world of faeries.

Outstanding

this is probably the first urban fantasy book I actually read. I had read the Valdamor series from Mercedes Lackey and enjoyed it. I picked this up on a lark originally and enjoyed it.

unfortunately the narrator destroyed this for me. with a book that is so tied to music having a narrator who has a wispy voice made it very difficult for me to buy into the book. it really needed somebody who had a strong resonance and able to sing

I first read this about 30 years ago

I enjoyed the story. If you are a fan of fancy you too will find this story to be cute.

The reading style was difference

I am a big fan of Mercedes Lackey, but this story is really hard to get into. The narrator did an excellent job of narrating, and that helped me listen to the whole story.

Pros: The female characters of the story seem to have it all put together, except for the evil female character. That would be a good thing, because if you can see a weakness, you can cash in on it. I can see why there is a second book in the series, and I want to listen to it if for no other reason than to see how the story will go.

Con: Eric spends too much time not thinking, even drunk or stoned. And when being drunk or stoned isn't an excuse, he doesn't use his brain very much at all until he absolutely has to. Also, this plot line has a lot of holes. What exactly happened at Julliard? How did he get to L.A., because $20 bus fare wouldn't have cut it? Why would one burn down an apartment without first checking to see if anyone was in it first? There are lots of other questions I have, but I don't want to spoil it for the people that are still going to read this book.

It had it moments that keep you wondering. I didn’t think I would listen all the way through but did.
