But that naivete has never been disappointed in the long term. It is an imperfect answer, that naively assumes that some on both sides desire peace and fellowship. Understanding cannot be reached without interaction. “My defence is that conflict cannot be resolved without contact. There were also plenty of breathtaking moments in the action scenes as every faction clashed, and the second half of this 800-pages tome was filled with large-scale battles that combined gods, magics, and violence magnificently. It’s undeniable that the characters of this quartet have withstood insane mental and physical trials, and I don’t have it in me to miss knowing what happens to these characters. But they also showed me, every day, that making the sacrifices that love requires is always worthwhile.”Īlthough the previous installment did leave me feeling disconnected with many characters of the series, I must say that my investment in Ramita, Alaron, Kazim, Elena, and Cera persists once again in Ascendant’s Rite. Sometimes marriage is a dugty and a burden this is known. There are reasons of sadness and suffering, there are trials, there are temptations. And I have a father and a mother who are my models in this: they’ve shown me that love and marriage aren’t all joy. The love and romance in this book felt fitting to include rather than exist for the sake of fanservice, and everything progressed at a steady pace in this action-packed conclusion. Either the previous book was written by someone else, or readers have complained about the gratuitous sexual content, or maybe Hair has spent all his morbid sexual imaginations on that book there’s no more of that nonsense. There were no more hundreds of pages of lusty thoughts, overlong detailed sex scenes, cock-hardening, or rape-enjoyment and craving for flowery-nipples. Seriously, the myriad of problems I had with I’mhorny War disappeared here. Ascendant’s Rite, the final book in The Moontide Quartet by David Hair, however, proved to be quite enjoyable as a concluding installment, and overall it was almost a complete return to the quality displayed in the first two books of the series. After my disastrous experience with the previous book, I pretty much had minus zero expectation towards this book.
