Its on my favorites list in general. Then, I'd put the Sarantine Mosaic, Lions of Al-Rassan, and Song for Arbonne - in that order. I haven't read the most recent. Tigana, definitely.

But I'm Canadian, so it's OK. Another quibble I had with this series was that there was a bit too much magic. It made deus ex machina virtually impossible to define.

Despite the flaws, they're keepers. I find GGK good at conveying intense emotion without getting sappy, which is a rare and wonderful skill.
