Reviews - Tigana
Aug. 20th, 2008 12:35 amThe very last paragraph makes me want to kill Guy Gavriel Kay. The impact was somewhat spoilt by my mum spoilering me beforehand, but... on the other hand, knowing it was coming hurt more, too.
One thing I definitely have to say is that Guy Gavriel Kay's romance was much better in this book. I never really saw Catriana and Alessan coming, but at the same time, it was understandable and it didn't make me come over all "...no" like Paul and Jaelle in Fionavar did. Dianora and Brandin were delightfully star-crossed.
I loved the little references to Fionavar, too.
The characters I got to love very, very much. Maybe not quite as much as I grew to love the characters in Fionavar. He wasn't quite as ruthless with his characters in Tigana, though, so I didn't test my love of the characters in tears!
Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favourite authors right now. Really. I don't see that changing any time soon, either.
