I personally fell in love with the Abhorsen trilogy, I found them refreshingly, original, and engrossing.

These two books were continuations off the original Abhorsen Trilogy. Although Clariel is listed as being book 4… Neither is as good as the original 3 but they are still good fixes for anyone who is a Abhorsen fan. 

A 5th book will be released on October 4th 2014
