Praise for David Anthony Durham and The Acacia Trilogy:
"David Anthony Durham has serious chops. I can't wait to read whatever he writes next."--George R. R. Martin "A fascinating world."
--USA Today "A big, fat, rich piece of history-flavored fantasy. . . . Imagined with remarkable thoroughness."
--Time "Gripping. . . . From the first pages of Acacia, Durham demonstrates that he is a master of the fantasy epic."
--The Washington Post Book World "Thrilling. . . . Durham's new world--like our old one--is crawling with wickedly fascinating characters."
--Entertainment Weekly "Transcendent. . . . As fantasy epics go, the 'Acacia' trilogy is a direct and worthy descendant of Tolkien." --Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star "A truly epic fantasy . . . Superbly written."
--Fantasy Magazine "Something genuinely new. . . . Strong echoes of Homer and Virgil, Tolkien, Norse mythology's Twilight of the Gods and America's compromised history as a republic built on slavery fuse into an enthralling, literate and increasingly suspenseful narrative."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Never lets up. . . . A very tasty fantasy stew."
--San Jose Mercury News "Extraordinary. . . . One of the best books, fantasy or otherwise . . . in recent memory."
--Free-Lance Star "Excellent. . . . A multi-layered, page-turning series that pushes the envelope of epic fantasy."
--Contra Costa Times
