Just finished Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay.
Well, it is not bad, but not great either. 6/10.
The bad:
The most important plot elements feel contrived, many times important plot elements are not revealed and leave you hanging there. Part of the plot does not fit with the others. Overall, this book is over-hyped and overrated.
The good:
I liked the writing, the world, and the fact that is a "realistic" novel - the heroes do not feel invulnerable and it is hard to guess the plot.
