So I just finished Tigana.

*SIGH*

For ONE thing, he leaves it with this massive cliffhanger, and I just kinda stared and went ".....BZUH?!" It comes completely out of the blue, in the middle of the warmfuzzy happy ending, just WHAM. The last sentence of the freaking book. And there's no sequel!! Very frustrating.

And besides that, the reunions I desperately wanted to happen DIDN'T. It was so frustrating because they were THIS CLOSE and no one knew the truth about who everyone was and ARGH. This is what I get for getting my heart set on two relationships in a book that isn't really about specific relationships. It's about the bigger, grander story. Which was, actually, gorgeous and majestic and sweeping and Kay is still a master storyteller. But I felt a little cheated because everything was just so HUGE that the people kind of got lost in the shuffle.

So, slightly let down. But still a magnificent book, and I'm going to start rereading the first one of his I ever read, because I LOVED it and it's been long enough that I don't remember any plot details, only that the end BROKE me. And in a less frustrating way than this one did.
