Nicole recommends Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay, available in both print and as an e-audiobook on Hoopla.
Summary
In a desperate attempt to revive the memory of a land banished from existence and to restore freedom to their battered world, a wandering musician and his small band of compatriots traverse a countryside bowed under the weight of its sorcerer-conquerors.
She recommends it because...
“To me, it's one of the best standalone fantasy novels I've ever read, and my go-to recommendation for readers who are interested in fantasy,” says Nicole.
“It's a gorgeously written historical fantasy with so many elements I love: epic magic, politics, deeply complex characters and war. It's a story about a few surviving inhabitants of the country of Tigana fighting for their freedom and to break their homeland's curse.”
Who might enjoy it?
Nicole recommends this book for fans of Robin Hobb, Fonda Lee, Patricia McKillip and Patrick Rothfuss.
Matt Dinniman (of Dungeon Crawler Carl fame) fans may be interested to know that this is one of the author’s favorite books, as well.
