5.0 out of 5 stars Shout "Tigana" from the highest towers., 19 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I love this book so much. Having bought this book as a Christmas present for my dad four years ago, "borrowed" it back and read it several times. I feel that I am well qualified to recommend this book to all fantasy fans.

This book contains everything one could ak for from a book. A fantastic love story, an excellent adventure, twists and turns at every corner. It will make you laugh, cry and you will not be able to put this down until you have finished.

The only problem with this book is when it ends. You'll wish it would carry on for ever more...

5.0 out of 5 stars Tigana is a name that should be shouted for all to hear, 24 Nov 2000
I have loved this book since I first read it almost ten years ago. It has all the elements of magic and history that you would expect from an epic fantasy like this but above all else this is a book about people: their joys, their pain and their passions. Read it and weep (and laugh and fear and fall in love with it). For my money, Dianora is one of the most richly written female characters I have ever had the pleasure to encounter.

If you are coming to Guy Gavriel Kay for the first time, don't start with this one as he has yet to match it. Start with the Lions of Al-Rassan or A Song for Arbonne and work up this this one. All are wonderful books but this one will always stay with you and you'll find yourself going back to it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to read again and again and again, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Fantasy writing has become a very overcrowded genre in recent years, but Kay stands head and shoulders above nearly everyone else as a master of the genre. And this is his best book. Great characters, an ingenious storyline and an ending which will uplift you, shock you and make you cry, all at the same time.

This is how fantasy should be. Absolutely stunning epic. With characters you care about and a great plot. Brilliant.

Tigana is probably the closest Kay has come to matching 'The Fionavar Tapestry'. It has his usual themes of political intrigue and idealism. Read more
