Pratchett er mættur aftur með einhverjar skemmtilegustu persónur Diskheims, Tiffany Aching og Nac Mack Feegle hópinn. Tiffany er nú í þjálfun hjá Miss Treason til að læra kúnstina að vera norn en þegar hún er viðstödd hátíð þar sem því er fagnað að sumar tekur við af vetri stenst hún ekki mátið og stekkur inn í dansinn - og dregur þannig athygli Winthersmiths, vetursins sjálfs, að sér sem kemst á þá skoðun að hann sé ástfanginn af henni. Hann byrjar nú að biðla til hennar á sinn besta máta, s.s. að láta snjókornum í ímynd Tiffanys rigna yfir landið. Hvað er nú til ráða, hvernig á ung stúlka sem er að læra að verða norn að glíma við frumöflin? ( ![]() The plot wasn't quite as engaging to me as the first two Tiffany Aching books, but still a joy to read. Loved Miss Treason and You the cat and all the Annagramma stuff. Holds up nicely to a second read-through. 'werk' I never met a Terry Pratchett novel I didn't love. But you have to start at the beginning, more or less, or you'll be too confused. The trouble is you can shut your eyes but you can’t shut your mind.
Tiffany returns, this time slightly older and in just a bit more trouble than before. This time around, she accidentally danced with the Wintersmith (the very embodiment of winter) and, as one thing leads to another, the Wintersmith beings to fall in love, trying to become human along the way. Iron enough to make a nail Lime enough to paint a wall Water enough to drown a dog Sulphur enough to stop the fleas Potash enough to wash a shirt Gold enough to buy a bean Silver enough to coat a pin Lead enough to blast a bird Phosphor enough to light the town Strength enough to build a home Time enough to hold a child Love enough to break a heart Perhaps the best part of the book is how Tiffany owns up to what she's done and does her best to put everything back together. There are some wonderful scenes with the main Witches from other Discworld books (Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg in particular), but the focus remains on Tiffany. As with the other Tiffany Aching books, it's a wonderful Discworld'y with a fairy tale feel. Well worth the read. Honestly, I liked this one more than A Hat Full of Stars, possibly even more than the Wee Free Men--although of course you'd want to start there when first reading the series. Well worth the read once again. Finally, because one must: Because no man wants to be a coward in front of a cheese. What? It makes sense in context. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

When witch-in-training Tiffany Aching accidentally interrupts the Dance of the Seasons and awakens the interest of the elemental spirit of Winter, she requires the help of the six-inch-high, sword-wielding, sheep-stealing Wee Free Men to put the seasons aright.
