This is my absolute favourite book of all time. On a scale of one to five, I give it a seven. It is THAT GOOD. Kay excels at taking epic, world-shaking stories and turning them into profoundly personal tales, and TIGANA is his masterpiece.
Michael J-GEpic is the right word, though I for me it is between this and Lions, though I did love Sarantium, and of course the Fionavar series ..... :-)
