Summary
David Hair is the award-winning writer of two young adult fiction series, The Aotearoa and The Return of Ravana (based on the Vedic epic The Ramayana). Mage’s Blood, the first volume of a series called The Moontide Quartet, is Hair’s first work of adult fantasy. In a starred review of Mage’s Blood, Publisher’s Weekly said, “This multilayered beginning to the Moontide Quartet plunges readers into a taut network of intrigue and mystery that tightens with each chapter. Hair portrays a stark and beautiful world breaking apart, with both good and evil characters desperate to reshape it through magic, war, and treachery. This strong debut should draw in fantasy readers of all stripes.”Most of the time the Moontide Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every twelve years the tides sink and the bridge is revealed, its gates open for trade. The Magi are hell-bent on ruling this new world, and for the last two Moontides they have led armies across the bridge on 'crusades of conquest.' Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight…but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.

Too many characters and titles, of which, the titles sometimes sounded like a character. It was all very confusing.

The story varies very much in detail level, which makes you phase out sometimes.

Good book that kept me interested despite it's many characters (I usually only become fond of a certain character in books, finding reading/listening chapters about other characters tedious, but that wasn't really the case here). The only downside is that even though the book is fast paced and interesting, the amount of different characters made them fight for screen time when it came to character development. Some characters get a lot of it and others barely gets any, but hey, it's just the first book in the series and there is ample opportunity for all the characters to develop properly! I have no complaints regarding the narrator, well read.
