This was a bittersweet read. I'm not sure that non-Pratchett fans would understand how wonderful this book is. It's at once a gift and a farewell. It's hard reading this book not to wish that there was more and to appreciate that we got as much of it as we did. There were places where I felt like Terry would have written more if he'd had time, but it's astounding what he was able to accomplish.

I love Tiffany Aching more than any other character I think. She is the epitome of a hero, and the Nac Mac Feegles are my all-time favourite sprites.
When I first read The Wee Free Men, more than a dozen years ago, I knew how special it was. I didn’t love the next 3 Tiffany Aching books quite as much, but this one is brilliant and funny and the oh so special as Terry’s last book. We are so lucky to have had him long enough for this book to exist.

Cried through the whole thing, for endings, for beginnings, for Terry Pratchett dying way too young. I'm glad this was the last Discworld, while wishing that there was no last Discworld. You know how that is.
Not the easiest book to read in many ways. The first eighty pages felt like a punch in the gut, the loss of one special person from the Discworld echoing the loss of Terry Pratchett in ours.
It introduces an interesting character - and then we lose them too. This book is about moving on, about so much loss, and about strength in adversity. It feels very personal.
Not the best Discworld novel, but a particularly poignant one.

A bittersweet read, but a lovely finale to the Tiffany Aching novels.
Soms is het heerlijk om even te zitten huilen bij een goed boek. Zeker als er een favoriet personage overlijdt. Gelukkig ging het op een erg mooie manier!
Dat ik het boek in een dag heb uitgelezen zegt volgens mij genoeg; het was mooi genoeg dat ik het bijna niet weg kon leggen. <3

lovely book with a few messages
Fitting tribute at the start to Terry through his character Granny Weatherwax, "Remembered" at the end.
Nice bit in the middle about being good to people.
Small Ode at the end to stop fox hunting.
