I am currently on Book 3 in this series and want it to end simply so I know the ending to the story. There are a few things that bother me about various characters (Cithrin and the drinking), but overall, this is a great installment in my Epic Fantasy library. I had thought that there was no magic (or very little) to the story as a whole, but as of Book 2, I anticipate some very nasty things in Book 3/4. I do anticipate that I'll be rereading the series again sometime after it's conclusion--whether in the next book or beyond. That in itself is my stamp of approval and recommendation to other readers. I purchased the entire series as a Kindle book with the $4 Whispersync audiobook addons, but the narrator is so good that I've almost exclusively stuck to the audiobooks. Well done [a:Daniel Abraham|134|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1207149629p2/134.jpg]! I like these so much that I'm going to give your Long Price Quartet [bc:The Price of Spring|6065889|The Price of Spring (Long Price Quartet, #4)|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388902656s/6065889.jpg|6242207][bc:A Shadow in Summer|208|A Shadow in Summer (Long Price Quartet, #1)|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403188205s/208.jpg|1711253][bc:An Autumn War|2443516|An Autumn War (Long Price Quartet, #3)|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1401332768s/2443516.jpg|2450710][bc:A Betrayal in Winter|811161|A Betrayal in Winter (Long Price Quartet, #2)|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1393279525s/811161.jpg|797100] another read while I'm waiting for book 4. Started off a little slow, but I grew to like the characters. I liked how the main characters, even though they cross paths only for a few moments, have a major effect on each other's stories. I liked how the author was able to make the economics of banking in his fantasy world actually fascinating. I felt the ending was a little anticlimactic, but it sort of worked.
... [T]his is a subtle intelligent fantasy novel about a world with a long history and fascinating economics, with war, peril, and adventure, and great characters of both genders. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the author of the Long Price Quartet (post) if he’s been asked to produce something a bit more European, a bit more mainstream, a bit more Martinesque.

HTML:"Everything I look for in a fantasy." â?? George R. R. Martin All paths lead to war. . . Marcus' hero days are behind him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of requires some unorthodox steps. Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She knows the secret life of commerce like a second language, but the strategies of trade will not defend her from swords. Geder, sole scion of a noble house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay. A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games. No one can predict what he will become. Falling pebbles can start a landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path â?? the path to war.

It's probably a "if you liked GRRM you'll like this one" read and while it's not bad I just didn't care enough to continue the series. ( )
