I just finished the first three books in Daniel Abraham's The Long Price Quartet. (Don't remember the codes for italics; I'll look them up later) The fourth and final book, The Price of Spring, is out, but it is in hardcover and I don't want one hardcover in a string of paperbacks. I'll either wait for the paperback or get a copy from the library.
It's not standard fantasy at all; philosophy, ethics and human relationships are the deep themes, and economics drives the action. I needed to give the reading close attention, and I am glad I started the series when all the novels were published. I read straight through A Shadow in Summer, A Betrayal in Winter and An Autumn War. I think I won't wait long to read the final book.
