I was intrigued by the idea of the Moontide and the crusades, and I loved the diversity and cultures in this series. For example, I didn’t like Kazim at first, but he started growing on me by the end of the second book and I ended up really loving him. But there’s also a lot of character development, meaning characters aren’t fixed on this scale. Some are mainly good, some are mainly bad and others shift between the two. We follow these three people in the lead-up to and during the Moontide, but we also meet a ton of other characters. And finally, there’s Ramita, a market girl whose life is turned upside down when the most powerful mage in the world chooses her to become his wife. There’s his aunt Elena, assigned as a bodyguard/mentor to the children of the royal family of Javon (in the East). First there is Alaron, a young mage student about to graduate. But the main focus for the story is on a few seemingly ordinary people. Everyone has their own motives, so alliances shift constantly.
The scale of these books reminded me a bit of A Song of Ice and Fire. But this time, the eastern continent is ready. This is the signal for the northern continent of Yuros to launch a crusade into Antiopia. Once every 12 years, the ocean levels drop low enough for the bridge connecting the continents to emerge. They tell the story of Urte, a world divided into two continents.
