I want to learn about your theory! Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 20/07/2013 10:15:51 AM

I read Tigana after The Lions of al-Rassan, and while I thought it good, it doesn't hold a candle to The Lions of al-Rassan.

Granted, The Lions of al-Rassan is one of my favorite books, and quite possibly my favorite fantasy book.

Oh good. *chalks up another data point for the theory* (spoilers for Lions of al-Rassan) Legolas - 20/07/2013 12:18:32 PM 937 Views
I read Tigana first, but much prefer Lions. Rebekah - 20/07/2013 12:49:10 PM 990 Views
Yeah, I think we discussed that before. The exception that confirms the rule? Legolas - 20/07/2013 01:19:46 PM 915 Views

I have only read American Gods and as the risk of being tarred and feathered I though it was just OK random thoughts - 25/07/2013 02:22:39 AM 924 Views
I'm with you on that. MonCul - 27/07/2013 03:03:53 AM 991 Views
Actually, I do agree that it's a bit overrated. Nate - 27/07/2013 05:30:41 PM 1073 Views
