Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Kay ( The Fionavar Tapestry ) brings to life a layered, pragmatic world of magic and difficult choices, where brutality and beauty coexist. Eight of the nine provinces of the Peninsula of the Palm, on a world with two moons, have fallen to the warrior sorcerers Brandin of Ygrath and Alberico of Barbadior. Brandin's younger son is slain in a battle with the principality of Tigana, which the grief-stricken sorcerer then destroys. Years later, a small band of survivors, led by Alessan, last prince of Tigana's royal house, wages psychological warfare, planting seeds for the overthrow of the two tyrants. At the center of these activities are Devin, a gifted young singer; Catriana, a young woman pursued by suspicions of her family's guilt; and Duke Sandre d'Astibar, a wily resistance leader thought dead. Meanwhile, at Brandin's court, Dianora, his favorite concubine and--unknown to anyone, another survivor of Tigana--struggles between her growing love for the often gentle tyrant and her desire for vengeance. Gradually the scene is set for both conquerors to destroy each other and free a land. Tolkien protege Kay's brilliant and complex portrayal of good and evil, high and low, will draw readers to this consuming epic. (Sept.)
Library Journal
In a desperate attempt to revive the memory of a land banished from existence and to restore freedom to a battered world, a wandering musician and his small band of compatriots traverse a countryside bowed under the weight of its sorcerer-conquerors. The author of ``The Fionavar Tapestry'' trilogy creates a brilliant single-volume epic fantasy, rich in intrigue and subtlety. Memorable characters and cultures add depth to a gracefully plotted story. Highly recommended.

    A Favorite

    Guy Gavriel Kay paints worlds and characters in a way that makes you want to climb in and disappear into the fabric of the story. Tigana was my first GGK book (I'm working my way through all of his books), and I now give it often as a gift. Exquisite writing, and a compelling and original story. Wonderful for any adult age.

    GREAT read

    Guy Kay is an exceptional writer and really has a gem in Tigana. I have really enjoyed his other books, reading 'Last Light of the Sun' right now (not quite the same quality as some of his others) and Tigana was wonderful. He spins these incredible stories that just keep you glued to the page. Definately pick up this book...you will not be disappointed

    By far Kay's best work

    This is by far Kay's best work. His other novels seem to wander and get lost, but not this one. Tigana is a fully realized world with it's own legends and tales. It is hard to find a book whose fantasy world is so encompassing.

    Captivating, but . . .

    Tigana has many outstanding qualities: an intriguing plot, thought-provoking themes, many interesting, multi-faceted characters. My one complaint? Why is it that all the major female characters, who on the surface appear strong-willed, have only sex and suicide attempts to offer to their cause? A disappointing aspect in an otherwise excellent novel.

    I Cannot Say Enough

    I absolutely loved this book. It had my emotions on a roller coaster and I came away thinking of the characters as some of my best friends. When it ended I only wanted more. (even if it was 4:00 a.m.) ;)

    Wow.

    This is an incredible book. Full of classic heroism, intrigue and an unorthodox look at good and evil, this book is worth the read.

    Amazing masterful storytelling

    This is the first of Kay's books I have read, and I must say I was enthralled from beginning to end...Kay is an amazing writer and makes you not only feel the story, but see and taste and share the carachters every emotion.

    The only book I've read more than 3 times.

    It's clever, it's realistic, it's passionate. I love this book for the complexity of the politics and the simplicity of the way it is put foreward. It shows that not all goals are to be reached by just getting to it, but sometimes you need to look at the grander scheme of things. The Palm is devided by two conquering nations, both diverse in the way they are being conquered/governed. It has a few storylines, all freedom fighters, not all on the same team. The heartbreaking story about a brother and a sister got me the most, but all others were very enjoyable. Also very good if you DON'T like fantasy.
