I haven't read Pratchett in ages and this did not disappoint. Tiffany's a great character and who doesn't love a talking toad?

Ahhh, Terry Pratchett.
There is a very distinct -comfort- that comes from reading Pratchett’s books; when he hits his stride a rhythm begins and I find myself being enveloped by it like a warm and comforting blanket. Though I enjoyed “Nation”, it didn’t give me that same warm feeling.
The Wee Free Men did, the first in a while.
Tiffany Aching is another worthy character in the Discworld, but the real stars for me were the Nac Mac Feegle, who I believe was the primary source of that distinct Pratchettness I love so.
If you like Discworld but are wary of the “Young Adult” label like I was, I can say that this felt like any other of his novels, except they forced him to format it in chapters, because apparently those delineations are helpful for wee lads and lassess. It’s probably the YA book that acts the least like a YA book that I’ve ever read. He does not talk down to his audience.
Had me shouting “CRIVENS!” at inopportune times.
