Tigana is the internationally celebrated epic of a beleaguered country struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the dark sorceries of the tyrant king Brandin that even the very name of their once beautiful home cannot be spoken or remembered. But, years after their homeland's devastation, a handful of men and women set in motion a dangerous crusade--to overthrow their conquerors and bring back to the world the lost brightness of an obliterated name: Tigana. Against the magnificently realized backdrop of a world both sensuous and brutal, this masterful novel of a passionate people pursuing their dream is breathtaking in its vision, and changes forever the boundaries of fantasy fiction.  … (més)

Esmapilgul võib jääda mulje, et tegemist on täiesti klassikalise keskajal põhineva fantaasialooga, kuhu on põimitud nii seiklusi, armastust kui maagiat. Ja esmapilk ei eksi – nii ongi. Ometi on “Tiganal” oma pealtnäha lihtsa ja ladusa loo, meeldejäävate tegelaste ja nende suhete ning vapustavalt hästi joonistatud maailma taga niivõrd palju sügavamaid kihte, et raske on isegi kusagilt alustada.
Kindlasti ja eelkõige on üks kõige olulisemaid neist mälu ja mäletamise idée, mis paljude võõrvõimude all virelenud eestlastele tuttav. Üheksast sõltumatust provinitsist koosneva Laba poolsaarest poole vallutavad samaaegselt kahe naabruses asuva suurrriigi kaks võimast võlurit. Neist ühe – Brandini – poeg hukkub lahingutes Tigana maakonna vallutamisel ning karistuseks kustutab raevunud võlur maakonna ja tema pealinna – valgete tornide Avalle – Laba elanike mälust. Seda jäävad mäletama vaid need, kes on Tiganas sündinud. Maakonna hing on hävitatud ja sellest on jäänud vaid valutav haav aastate möödudes aina vähemate inimeste mälus.
Kui lugeja kohtub järjest raamatu peategelastega – rändmuusikuted, kaupmehed, võlurid, ülikud, röövlid – ja hargnevad lahti nende lood, on võib lausa füüsiliselt tajuda inimeste ängi, mis lõpuks defineerib nende saatused. Ja ka nende omad, kes on end nendega sidunud.
Lisaks mälule räägib lugu valikutest ja saatusest: nii sellest, et saatus on meie enda teha, kui ka sellest, et tee võib olla ette määratud. Üht sellistest liinidest esindab ilmselt kõige tugevamalt legendaarsete vee-elanike riselkade ja Brandini liignaise Dianora traagiline liin. Dianora on langenud Tigana kuninga skulptori tütar, kes oma päritolu varjates on kättemaksu nimel suutnud pääseda võluri saišani – haaremisse – ja saanud tema lemmiknaiseks. Kuid naine armub türanni, leiab vastuarmastuse ja tema elu on rebitud kaheks kohustuse ja armastuse vahel. Ehk veidi kunstlikult, aga igati loosse sobivalt leiab ta nõu riselkalt, kes näitab talle tema saatust. Kuid valikud, kuidas sinnamaale jõuda, peab ta tegema ise.
Siiski on maagial raamatus teisejärguline roll, mis ei tõuse kordagi – isegi võtmeolukordades, domineerima tegelaste valikute, otsuste ja valikute üle, mis ilmselt ongi see, mis muudab loo nii paeluvaks. Kay meisterlikkus inimeste kujutamisel, nende ambivalentsus ja must-valgete toonide puudumine domineerib nii süžee kohatise takerdumise kui mõningate üsna põhjendamatult sissetoodud tegelaste osas (Alienor).
Kindlasti on “Tigana” üks neist ramaatutest, mida võib lugeda terve elu – lapsena nautides seiklusi, kangelaste vaprust ja romantilisi line, vanemana haarates teose sügavamaid kihte ja traagikat. “Tigana” on “fantaasia”kirjandus selle sõna kõige tõelisemas mõttes – hea kirjandus, millest sageli võib vaid fantaseerida.

Why is this my favourite book? Well, it's hard to put into words. I love the characters - each of the characters is richly drawn and full of emotion and passion. It is easy to like each one of them whether flawed, angelic, or 'evil' (except for Alberico, of course).

Kay does a fantastic job of weaving many strands of the story along their own path, but bringing them together in the end in a way you don't really see coming. I always love how he has some surprises in his novels.

I've read this book 5 or 6 times, and each time I become emotionally involved in the characters and the story. I know what is coming, and I know how the book ends, but I still stay up until midnight reading so I don't have to leave the world and the people. ( )

Guy Gavriel Kay is one of my favourite authors, but this book just didn't do it for me. I really struggled to get through it, probably because I couldn't connect with the central premise: that people were willing to go to such lengths to bring back a name no one remembered. I also had other problems with the story, such as using sex as a plot device. It was unnecessary at best and downright icky at worst.

I also found Kay's writing - usually so lyrical and engaging - dull and monotonous. I adored The Lions of Al-Rassan and A Song for Arbonne. I had such high hopes for Tigana. Hopefully, the next book I pick up by Kay will be better. ( )

Very fun book, tough to put down. Some complex themes and clearly ambitious. Thoroughly enjoyed it but didn't think it was brilliant. Its inspirations and intents were just a little too transparent, even before i read about his indebtedness to Campbell. It may not be great literature but it sure was fun (and my scoring may be unreasonably low) ( )

Pluses: awesome stylish world, language, (pseudo)-historical context, captivating exposition. Lots of influence over GRRM and other modern authors that are obvious at the hindsight. Big attention to music, which is refreshing.

Minuses: cartoonish cut-out characters (both mary-sues and villains), illogical development, non-sequitur closure. ( )

All that you held most dear you will put by
 and leave behind you; and this is the arrow
 the longbow of your exile first lets fly.
You will come to know how bitter as salt and stone
 is the bread of others, how hard the way that goes
 up and down stairs that never are your own.
—Dante, The Paradiso
What can a flame remember? If it remembers a little less
than is necessary, it goes out; if it remembers a little
more than is necessary, it goes out. If only it could
teach us, while it burns, to remember correctly.
—George Seferis, "Stratis the Sailor Describes a Man"
