This is one of those stories that you finish and feel like your heart has been trapped in the story and it will take some time to emotionally detach. You feel full and empty at the same time.
It has deep life lessons, complex social commentary, and numerous laughs. I think it is heavier than the previous Tiffany books with significantly less whimsy. However it is moving and wholesome and tense and beautiful.
I only wish I could have more Terry Pratchett. No other author comes close. Truly one of a kind. The man has virtually created his own genre of writing because no other series compares.

It made me think of green rolling hills with long grass swaying gently in the wind.
Very loveable characters and so quirky! I had such a fun time reading it even though there were some darker themes. The narrative is awesome and I loved the ending. Also. Tiffany Aching is an absolute queen.
Minor: Child abuse

I am very glad I have read it and look forward to reading it again.
It is Terry Pratchettâs last full Tiffany Aching novel of the Discworld series as the one after this is quite abbreviated due to the authorâs declining health.
Iâd recommend reading the other Witch books from the Disc World first in order, but as the author states on all of his Disc World books, each novel can be enjoyed on its own.
Witch burning, and the dark side of human nature are not new topics to novels, but Terry Pratchettâs writing and characters rise to the challenge and do not disappoint. The word âdisappointâ meaning literary âto be helpless in the underworld.â Tiffany is a witch and must help herself and find a way to defeat the Cunning Man.
Really, this book is brilliant and now one of my favorites.
Would recommend to most anyone negotiating our current reality especially those coming to grips with itâs more toxic elements.
