About the Author

Reviews

Scarlet Tides is simply faster, better and even more satisfying that its prequel.
*Upcoming4.Me*

Hair spins a satisfying fantasy that, in some aspects, is a sort of mashup of J.R.R. Tolkien and Henry Kissinger . . . believable, complete and utterly satisfying . . . Fans of the series will be eager to see what comes next
*Kirkus*

Overall, Scarlet Tides represents modern epic fantasy at its best
*Fantasy Book Critic*

an excellent follow up to the first novel, continuing the tradition of vivid, dynamic characters and terrific world building . . . Readers of epic fantasy should definitely check out this series
*Bibliosanctum*

Scarlet Tides has been compared to great fantasy epics such as A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time, and it easily earns it place amongst them
*Fanbase Press*

A must read series
*Fantasy Review Barn*

A remarkable series
*SFFANZ*

A complex world populated by a rich and diverse cast of characters . . . There's a little something for everyone here - conspiracies, political backstabbing, high magic, swordplay, a smattering of romance, and more . . .Recommended for fans of George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss
*Monster Librarian*

The Moontide Quartet has everything I am looking for when I want a truly epic feel
*Fantasy Review Barn*

The Moontide Quartet is perhaps the most understated fantasy series currently being written. It features a wide, diverse cast of characters spread out over dual continents. Focusing on a clash of civilisations storyline, David Hair offers a tale that encapsulates epic fantasy to its entirety
*Fantasy Book Critic, The Year’s Top Ten*

Scarlet Tides is still a heavy tome with lots of excellent story inside of it. The magic system becomes even more fleshed out as things are revealed, the world grows with new locations and characters, and a fun level of "what next" to the story
*Novelnaut*

Scarlet Tides continues a fantastic epic fantasy series with a great cast, immersive world, and fascinating system of magic that builds to a stunning several-hundred page conclusion in the vein of Steven Erikson, where everything possible happens to everyone. He improved on everything that made Mage's Blood so good and added even more oomph to it. I cannot wait to start Unholy War. Read. This. Series.
*A Bitter Draft*

'Hair plays it right ... this could turn into a must read series in a hurry. 4/5' Fantasy Review Barn.
