There's also a great sense of setting, the story being in the middle of the countryside and characters being at home with the nature and the creatures around them. There are some great laughs and there are plenty of moments that make you smile. What follows is typical Pratchett, with the supernatural threat to be dealt with - an interesting creation that cuts right to the heart of a bit of human nature - and character conflict also. Only after this is a new supernatural danger subtly introduced. And the boy she played with when they were both young is now a young man and has responsibilities of his own.įor the first hundred pages or so little happens, it just fills us in on all this, but it's so well written in the writer's typical style that the pages turn very nicely.
And people are depending on her to do those. I shall wear midnight deals with Tiffany coming of age, in that she's now sixteen and has responsibilities that go with her role as witch.
This one though is relatively stand alone and there's a bit of back story but you shouldn't have much trouble getting into if you haven't read the previous ones. Fourth and - seemingly - final volume in the run of discworld novels that are intended for younger readers that feature young witch Tiffany Aching.
