About this listen

Acclaimed author Guy Gavriel Kay has been honored with the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (Ysabel) and the International Goliardos Award for his work in fantasy.

Eight of the nine Palm provinces of the Peninsula have been overcome by warrior sorcerers Brandin and Alberico. But the sorcerers don't know that a small band of survivors is plotting their removal. With tensions mounting, the sorcerers become increasingly at odds as each decides where his own path - and that of the land - should truly lie.

"Brilliant. Rich in intrigue and subtlety. A gracefully plotted story. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)

The author allows his tale to be told slowly allowing for a climax where all the investment into plot and the range of the multidimensional characters he has created to pay wonderful dividends. A story of identity and the damage done by revenge over love.

Breathtaking

I first read Tigana around 30 years ago. I quickly realised that it spoke to deeper themes than is typical in fantasy, and even before the end I mentaly placed it alongside works like A Wizard of Earthsea: intelligent, thoughtful fantasy. I've re-read it several times since. Simon Vance's performance brings a fresh perspective on this firm favourite.

Superb

Characters and themes artfully crafted. A tale spun as in the old ways, love and loss two sides of the same coin, as it should be and is. Thank you GGK...again.

Storytelling at its finest.

Different themes and lots of characters but needed parts 2 and 3 to be fully developed. Didn’t like the ending and in some places the sentences were never ending. However, I still enjoyed the story!

Needs to be a trilogy
