Mage's Blood
Mage's Blood | David Hair
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.

Nothing exceptional here, but what Hair tries to do, he does well. Amazing world ; if a bit similar to ours culturally.
If you're looking for something truly exceptional to read; nothing here to see. If you just wanna be entertained with fantasy, you have picked up a good book.

What an immersive read! I love the huge cast of characters; characters so well drawn as to be distinguishable from each other, the world building, the gnostic magical system and the political intrigue. I can't believe how intricate this world is and how well written. This is epic fantasy at it's best! Loved it ❤️

The Eastern Continent, split among many factions. The Leviathan Bridge brings much trading, but it has also brought the Crusades from the West.

Though it took me awhile to get through the book, I really enjoyed the plot. It reminded me of "Game of Thrones" but with more magic and ethic diversity. Looking forward to the next installment! ?
