A review by rickwren
Tigana: Anniversary Edition by Guy Gavriel Kay
1.0
It was written well enough - the commas were in the right places, the paragraphs looked right from a distance and the weight of the volume was adequate to let you know you were holding a real live book.
I almost never review a book I couldn't finish, but here I am, going at for the sake of other Fantasy readers. There's nothing here that couldn't have been produced by a fantasy book-writing machine. It's the same general land, the same kind of magic, the same level of technology, the same the same the same. The names aren't even creative, they could've been swiped from a Dungeons and Dragons game session at any nerd home in America.
I got so bored, I'd realize that I'd gone a dozen pages and retained exactly zero of the plot, dialogue, or action. I also realized that I just didn't care. Halfway through, I shut it and went to the next book.
