Tigana
Guy Gavriel Kay · 1990
A conquered nation's name has been magically erased from memory, and only those born there can still remember it. Kay's novel about cultural erasure, resistance, and the cost of liberation is the most politically serious epic fantasy of its generation.
The case against
Kay never trusts an emotion to land unassisted; characters weep, tremble, and feel their hearts turn over on schedule, and the narration swells right along with them. The Dianora chapters, a concubine plotting to kill the tyrant she has come to love, need more psychological restraint than the heated prose can supply. Moving, genuinely, with the dial taped at ten.
