Lommy...I've read both of those, and enjoyed them. There are two sequels to Abhorsen; keep reading, they're both good.

Abhorsen is the last one, and I've read the previous books (
Sabriel and
Lirael) already. I think the last book was the best and the second the worst. What about you,
Jenny?

Tigana was excellent. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the same magic in the other books I've found by Kay. I think the strength of Tigana was the loyalty to a single theme, that of patriotism, and I felt the book had a strong philosophical flavor. I really enjoy books that ask me to think.

That's one of the reasons I enjoyed
Tigana so much; it made me think. I also loved some of the characters, Dianora for example. I have a CD (Dido's Life for Rent) and some of the songs remind me so much of
Tigana, especially Dianora, and I just can't understand why.
Connie Willis'
Domesday book(?) is a masterpiece, though I'm not sure if it's fantasy...
