a publié une critique de Tigana par Guy Gavriel Kay

Guy Gavriel Kay: Tigana (1999, Roc Trade)

I’m a sucker for Kay’s type of fantasy.

A very good work of fantasy playing with deeper concepts than “magical secret orphan prince” tropes. The long time I spent reading it is unrelated to its quality (but more related to my brain's bandwidth capacity these last 6 months). The characters are compelling, the Aragorn-type is way more human than Tolkien’s Aragorn and the bad guys are well rounded and have interesting motivations. On the other hand I don’t remember if the book passes the Bechdel Test and the women roles could have been bigger.
