Where to go next for GGK?  Tigana I ve read as well.  

If you enjoyed the faux-China setting, River of Stars.

Otherwise, well, The Lions of Al-Rassan is a great stand-alone and I recommend it as the first book to try if you want to give GGK a look. After that, yeah, The Sarantine Mosaic is excellent, and you have a set of more novels in the same setting as those two books to look forward to after that (The Last Light of the SunChildren of Earth and SkyA Brightness Long Ago, and All the Seas of the World).

Sounds like Finovar Tapestry is a trilogy and everything else is only Easter egg sort of connected?

I would only recommend the Fionavar Tapestry at this stage if you are okay with it being a bit rougher of a work. It has some amazing high points and I adore it unreasonably, but there are those who find it a bit too emotionally-laden and flowery.

The Sarantine Mosaic is a duology, the only other series he's done.

Ysabel also has a strong connection to the Fionavar books. Other than that the order of reading isn't too important in terms of plot.

I think Lions is a good suggestions for the next book, although the Sarantine Mosaic and A Song for Arbonne could be other good alternatives.

Just reiterating what others said. Lions.

Children, Brightness, and Seas are a loose trilogy, but all can be read independently. Brightness is absolutely in the discussion for, "which book could be better than Lions"...
