Acacia
I am intrigued by this description by David Anthony Durham is the first book in a new series called; The War with the Mein. Mr. Durham is most noted for his historical fiction books. However, Acacia represents a step from the norm for Mr. Durham and steps into the realm of fantasy. I was pleasantly surprised by this novel, not only in the story but also the characters. With this being Mr. Durham's first fantasy novel the long-term outlook for his novels is certainly bright. However, this is not your typical sword and sorcery fantasy novel. I would liken this more to G.R.R. Martin, Steven Erikson, and Scott Lynch. It's a more gritty look at fantasy, where people die and the `good guys' don't always come out on top. I would say it has a more adult feel then the majority of fantasy novels out today.
