â??David Anthony Durham has serious chops. I canâ??t wait to read whatever he writes next."
â??George R. R. Martin

Welcome to Acacia . . .
 
Born into generations of prosperity, the four royal children of the Akaran dynasty know little of the world outside their opulent island paradise. But when an assassin strikes at the heart of their power, their lives are changed forever.
 
Forced to flee to distant corners and separated against their will, the children must navigate a web of hidden allegiances, ancient magic, foreign invaders, and illicit trade that will challenge their very notion of who they are. As they come to understand their true purpose in life, the fate of the world lies in their ha

This book wasn't exactly bad, it was just unimaginative. All the conflicts were strangely foreign, and all the resolutions felt slightly "Deus Ex Machina". The battles hinged on single days of fighting, after which a side that was "confident it would win" the day before became now "on its last legs". The writing style was generally poor, and the plot with the Lothan Aklun was terrible, largely because they were never even introduced in the book through anything other than rumor.

I may read the next one, because it promises to be more interesting, but this definitely did not excite me. ( )

Leodan sonha terminar com esse comércio vil, mas existem forças poderosas que se lhe opõem. Então, um terrível assassino enviado pelo povo dos Mein, exilado há muito numa fortaleza no norte gelado, ataca Leodan no coração de Acácia, enquanto o exército Mein empreende vários ataques por todo o império. Leodan, consegue tempo para colocar em prática um plano secreto que há muito preparara. Haverá esperança para o povo de Acácia? Poderão os seus filhos ser a chave para a redenção?

Had David chopped this sucker down, cutting much of the slow buildup, this would have been a much bigger impact. The world-building is top notch - I loved the idea the Creator's song was stolen by man, and this theft corrupted the word and the world and the Creator in his sadness left it behind. ( )

An original vision of a fantasy world with interesting characters, cultures and a complex social system. I really enjoyed the story and need to look for the other books now. ( )

Through a vivid depiction of ethnically diverse cultures, breathless warfare, and a deep understanding of that old adage--"Those who cannot learn from the past are doomed to repeat it"--he creates not only a philosophical epic for the thinking fan but also a masterpiece of character and realism that even a theory-clutching Joyce scholar could appreciate.

...

Why dole out your money for tales of fictional worlds when things there are just as bad? One reason, I suppose, is that you would then miss out on novels like David Anthony Durham's tour de force, Acacia, a deeply political vision of the fantastic that exposes the humanity at the heart of every ruthless machination.

The new kid on the fantasy block has some new moves that may even impress the old timers. Durham, a well known historical fiction author, brings his writing prowess to the fantasy genre. And what an effort it is! Acacia has all the elements that make A Song of Ice and Fire so compelling.
