This review does a brilliant job of capturing why. Thanks for writing it.<BR/><BR/>Personally I don't feel that his other work matches it (which is a bit like saying the rest of the Beatles' body of work doesn't match "Yesterday" -- maybe it's true, maybe it's not, either way it's a pretty meaningless assertion), but I do agree that the books which come closest are The Lions of al-Rassan and the Sarantine Mosaic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363755.post-1680672104526357682009-02-03T18:08:00.000-05:002009-02-03T18:08:00.000-05:00Tigana is one of the best epic fantasy novels out ...<I>Tigana</I> is one of the best epic fantasy novels out there. As you say, it's a masterpiece. <BR/><BR/>So when I say that two of his historical fantasies--<I>The Lions of al-Rassan</I> and the two-volume <I>Sarantine Mosaic</I>--are better than <I>Tigana</I>, you now have a frame of reference.arakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621283992744100071noreply@blogger.com
