Status Updates From Tigana

I see where this climax is going. The two Tyrants facing off at Senzio and hopefully dying there if the gods are kind

My god this book carves into your heart. I feel like Im flayed open every time I read it. I’m glad this was my first GGK read, it is magnificent.

Brandin must truly love Dianora or more aptly, hate Tigana to give up his kingship of Ygrath and remain in his conquered lands. Alessan’s mother, Pasithea, is a right cunt. God what an embittered cold-blooded bitch.

God Dianora’s chapters are heartbreaking. She is a woman torn between so many worlds. Duty, love, and fate. But she seems at peace with what is coming.

I fear Dianora is not long for this world.

I love Marius. He’s chummy compared to all our depressed sad boy characters which is nice to counterbalance the despair.

Woah. The Dream Realm (?) segment was otherworldly. And Baerd being able to say Tigana and for others to hear it, god that hit.

Oh so the Carlozzini are a heretical cult. Interesting.

Oh so there is some eldritch ancient horror older than the Triad plaguing Certando. Intriguing.

This is a great cast of characters, my god. Alienor is a fascinating lady. Her… tryst with Devin and their conversation was illuminating.

So the people of Tigana are descended of gods, that wasnt just hogwash. Intriguing.

Oh something I didnt comment on but Dianora and Baerd… they were like… incestious? Im guessing weird trauma bonding? The way it was written was vague or Im obtuse.

Okay so the plan is to plant the seeds of dissension. And it’s working. And the Duke now looks like some Khardhu warrior through some unusual means. Interesting. Im really enjoying it but it is grim as hell.
