DESCRIPTION:
A masterpiece An absolutely beautiful book. It actually brought me to tears on three separate occasions (I will admit to being a bit of a sap)I have been reading Terry Pratchett's books for 16 years since I first discovered 'Sourcery' in my high school library and then went back and caught up with the others and I truly believe this is his best. At least, it resonated the most with me.Considering at the point he wrote it his Alzheimer's had reached the point where he could no longer type but needs to dictate his words, this is an incredible achievement. The man is still sharp as a whip an. Way Outback said Satisfying Ending to a Sterny-Good Tale. Tiffany Aching is a delightful, complex character coming of age in an unusual world. Through her adventures I have learned Applied Headology, Human Relations skills for the Strong Woman, and Listening. As with all of Sir Terry's Discworld tales, the story within the story nurtures the reader's heart as well as the imagination. High recommendations for readers middle school and older. This book is the last of a series, can be read out of sequence but would make for a richer appreciation of the tale to start at WEE FREE MEN.. If you've liked the other Tiffany Aching novels, you'll like this also This is the latest entry in Pratchett's four-book sub-series about a young witch, Tiffany Aching, as she grows up and learns, appropriately enough for her trade, to be a wise woman. (There are upwards of thirty or forty "Discworld" books total, which cluster into subgroups around individual characters). While you could certainly start here if you wanted to, new readers might find it more rewarding to begin with The Wee Free Men, the first in Tiffany's sub-series, followed by A Hat Full of Sky and then Wintersmith, before proceeding to this one.This is billed as a children's
Tiffany discovers she may have been responsible for waking an evil force when she kissed the winter in Wintersmith (HarperTempest, 2006). The Cunning Man is in need of a host body and is searching for Tiffany. Along with the Nac Mac Feegles, she has to seek out the source of this growing fear. Known as “The Hag O'the Hills,” she spends her time tending to the messy, menial, everyday things that no one else will take care of, such as fixing bones or easing the pain of a dying man.
