#MOONTIDE QUARTET BOOK 1 SUMMARY SERIES#

In that sense itвЂ™s quintessential modern epic fantasy, but couched in a very expected setting. It walks a fine line though, often refusing to color individuals entirely one or the other. Written in limited third person from multiple points of views, MageвЂ™s Blood does maintain some notion of good and evil. Tanuva AnkesharanвЂ™s best cooking could not match so wondrous a feast as this scavenged meal. вЂ¦they ate a cold meal of dried meat and breads, washed down with a small flask of arak and some water, all from the wagonвЂ™s spoils.

ThereвЂ™s even lavish descriptions of food, Sweeping conflicts, clashes of cultures, political and personal entanglements, rich and in-depth magic, and mighty warriors dot the landscape. It should be noted that when I refer to the term epic fantasy, I really mean it.

#MOONTIDE QUARTET BOOK 1 SUMMARY SERIES#

That established, David HairвЂ™s first adult novel, MageвЂ™s Blood is one of the better epic fantasy series first instalments IвЂ™ve read in recent years. In a fantasy marketplace that has only recently seen a conclusion to Robert JordanвЂ™s iconic Wheel of Time, and long suffering delays to George R.R MartinвЂ™s A Song of Ice and Fire, IвЂ™ve compiled a list of authors and series I can recommend in their place, which includes: Peter BrettвЂ™s Demon Cycle, Elizabeth BearвЂ™s The Eternal Sky, Daniel AbrahamвЂ™s The Dagger and the Coin, and Brent WeeksвЂ™s Lightbringer.
