Is this a "clean" book? I recognize we all have different tastes and I'm fine with that and not trying to "judge" anyone. But for me, I prefer to avoid reading: - large amounts of foul language - graphic violence - sex scenes or strong sexual innuendo. For reference, Brandon Sanderson's books are at about the right level for me in terms of "cleanliness". I'd really appreciate anyone giving me a quick rating. Thanks!

Simply put, there are 2-4 sex scenes in this book depending on how you would define 'sex scene.' Based upon your question, you would most likely be OK with 2 of of them and not ok with the other 2. 1 of the 2 you would most likely not be OK with is central to the plot (the one in the closet at the beginning of the book that someone else mentioned), the second is not and comes about half way through the book when a group of the main characters stay at the castle of a friend of the last Prince of Tigana.

Why is there a shift in narration style in the epilogue? It sounds more like a screen play for a drama. Eg: Instead of he laughed and turned around it will say, he laughs and turns around. Does anyone know why it is so? Thanks in advance

But there'd never be a winner: Mr. Kay has stated in at least one interview that the ending of the book means that life goes on and that this is not the end of the character's story arc. There will not be a new book with these characters, so we'll never know which of the six options would be true.

Given the "contrary" style of writing of Mr Kay I would bet for Baerd to be blessed, Devin to die and Sandre to have a fork.(less)

Is this a standalone book or do I need to read prequels before read Tigana?
