A review by hjswinford
Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay

4.0

There was a lot to this book. It was heavy and beautiful and timeless, but also emotionally taxing, strange, and dense. All in all, I was impressed by this novel. I liked many things about it, though there were plenty of things that felt unnecessary and odd. The worldbuilding was incredible and I loved how expansive and authentic the world felt as I read. I wanted to like Devin, but ultimately his role seemed to be most heavily defined as: main narrator, and offered little else to the actual events of the story. I thought Brandin, Dianora, and Alessan were all great characters. The ending threw me for a loop and I did NOT see it coming. It was a very satisfying end.
