Suggest a Fantasy book that ENDS?
Hey all, my library recently became useful. I can get many books there these days.
Goodreads.com, a site which I sometimes frequent for book reviews and to see what my friends are reading, isn't really helping me track down something good based on some criteria.
I'm looking for a fantasy book that:
1) Begins and ends in one (or two, MAYBE) books. A serial story: That is a series where every book is a complete tale with a beginning and end, is OK here (like the Brother Cadfael mysteries).
2) Is something more than shlock western fantasy. Something different, even if just a little. I want something that feels like it was more than notes cribbed from a D&D game.
3) Dark? Light? Feminist? Otherworldly? Asian? Historical? Anything goes.
Thanks!

(Later: Requests for short fiction, mystery, historic nonfiction, and modern nonfiction/vignette pieces.)
