The ultimate review comes from my 12-year-old who giggled aloud while reading the first chapter. She's now finishing the fourth Tiffany Aching book. ( ![]() Put off reading this for a long time because I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as Wee Free Men, which is one of my favorite books of all time-- turns out I needn't have worried. While this one was fun, it was mostly because of the Nac Mac Feegles. Honestly, you want a mash-up? I'll give you a mash-up. Imagine J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter changed to a female, then thrown into a weird adventure with a whole slew of less foul-mouthed Robin Williams's explaining the origin of golf and you kind of get the gist of Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men. Okay, well, less golf, and more fighting and drinking and stealing, but still... As I said, I mostly loved this simply because Pratchett's Wee Free Men are his best invention ever. Anything with a Scottish accent is a blast, and I'm guessing Pratchett was likely laughing his ass off as he wrote them all. I'm just not as much of a fan of his YA Discworld titles, but this has been the best so far. In my next life I'd like to come back as Tiffany Aching. She's badass. Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

She's actually got someone teaching her now: specifically Miss Level, who is a bizarrely wonderful character, the exact sort of thing Pratchett does well in Discworld. Minor spoilers, but she is Plotwise, the big bad this time around is an invisible beastie that's been chasing Tiffany and is keen to pray on her burgeoning Witch powers that no one quite expects her to have yet, so don't adequately explain. It's an interesting take on a coming of age / coming into yourself story, and well done. Technically, it's still a young adult book (and Tiffany is still a young girl--a teen or perhaps even pre-teen, I'm not entirely certain), but it's a pretty intense book at times ( Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Tiffany Aching, a young witch-in-training, learns about magic and responsibility as she battles a disembodied monster with the assistance of the six-inch-high Wee Free Men and Mistress Weatherwax, the greatest witch in the world. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
