The Seventh Gate: A Death Gate Novel, Volume 7 (Death Gate Cycle) 61 reviews Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman
Spectra, 1995
Hung on every word about Haplo and Marit

Acacia: Book One: The War With the Mein (Acacia) 40 reviews David Anthony Durham
Doubleday, 2007
Excellent New Fantasy Series
+ ***Spoiler Alert*** A review of the audio AND the written versions
Though I am a fan of the fantasy genre, I also have to say that I've been disappointed by many fantasy novels. When I bought Acacia, I wanted to read some imaginative, new fantasy, but I was hesitant to simply pick up a random book off the shelf (since there is so much "bad" fantasy out there). So, ...
