I mean, it wasn't just the name, but the history of the place and people that had been removed, so I can see why that would be upsetting, especially to those who were around when it happened but I still felt like more emotional weight had been given to the issue than was truly deserving. It didn't make sense to me that Devin would join the cause for that alone. Perhaps if the focus of the group had been more on the forgotten massacre than the forgotten name, it might have worked better, but none of them seemed all that fussed about that. "Maybe it would have been more understandable if the awesome power of Tigana had actually been discussed rather then us just having to take a gigantic leap of faith.
I dont know if that would have been enough for me to buy it. People are suffering, in fact they are causing just as much suffering if not more, for what? A name? Some history? Its not selling me on rooting for this band of malcontents to be a governing faction.
Move on already. But then there would be no book. Oh hey, maybe there could be some focus on some real heroes or freedom fighters.
Bleh sorry, just ranting now. =)
