David Hair is the award-winning writer of two young adult fiction series, The Aotearo 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 listeners 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 12 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.

Would you listen to Mage's Blood again? Why?

Yes, there are so many amazing characters, a brilliant story with so many twists, I just couldn't drag myself away.

What other book might you compare Mage's Blood to, and why?

I think Mage's Blood is too original a story with its multi cultural characters to compare to any other book.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Every scene where Elena fights back and wins through despite the odds.
It is very difficult to name one scene in such an epic story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The snake people's short lives.

Any additional comments?

Please hurry up with the final part of the trilogy! these are amongst the best books I have ever read/listened to.

Awesome!!!!

This books has introduced a world with diverse and full characters. The story is well written and I look forward to the rest of the series.

So many great books have been ruined by audio, not this one. The narrator is wonderful, he brings the characters to life and the sound quality is perfect.

Well worth listening to.

Fantastic

It's unusual for a high fantasy author to be so devoid of original thought that he has to borrow heavily from reality. This could easily be an Alternative History book instead of fantasy. Would it be so difficult to create a unique world with its own cultures, instead of mingling Turkish with Italian? The only reason to draw so heavily on reality is that the reader (or listener) can draw from their own knowledge when the author misses out details.
Parts of the story are entertaining enough, but I never went out of my way to listen to more of the story than I usually do (my commute to work). I often read or listen to the first book of a series to see how it grips me. This was promised as some sort of Game of Thrones meets Lord of the Rings, but it's simply mundane.

disappointing

The story is absolutely fantastic, with so many twists and turns, the literature of the book itself is fantastic. Nothing is skipped, it's word for word and Nick Podehl is an absolutely fantastic voice actor, the many different voices feel real and imaginative and I was immersed in it, absolutely fascinated and always looking forward to the next time I'd get a chance to listen to the next part!

Absolutely brilliant!
