when I was a kid my mom read this book to me as a bedtime story, broken up over the course of about 2 weeks. I was afraid that revisiting it as an adult would kill some of the whimsy, but Tiffany Aching is still a delightful narrator and Terry Pratchett is still an author in a league all his own. His take on witches is nothing short of wonderful, rooted so completely in love and compassion and doing for others as they cannot do themselves. it's beautiful

Sometimes you just need a dash of Pratchett. It's an odd read twenty years on when so much subversion of fairy tales has become so standard as to be itself subverted, but most of the wit holds up, and there's enough bite to enjoy.

Re-read it, raised my rating to five stars.
I had forgotten how good it was.
And I had forgotten that wonderful crystallization of the social contract,
"Them as can do, has to do for them as can't."
All in one-syllable words.
This book shows an understanding of sheep, witch lore, young children, and maturing children.
And there is nothing quite so much fun as a Nac Mac Feegle.

This is a delightful read. It was my selection for book club based on a hilarious quote about, “if you stay true to your dreams… believe in yourself… and follow your North Star… you will never be as good as someone that wasn’t sitting around thinking about these things. Good day.”
It’s a book with tons of wit and charm, a delightful read through-and-through, though it’s a fantasy, so maybe not for everyone. I loved reading this book. It makes one believe anything is possible!
