Good

Terry Pratchett falleció antes de poder pulir y ampliar esta novela como merecía, no es que no tenga final, es que le falta consistencia. Duele que sea su última novela, y al mismo tiempo rompe el corazón las constantes referencias a la muerte... su muerte.
Me ha gustado pero no tanto como debería :(

This would probably rate five stars if Pratchett had been able to finishand polish it. As it is, there are loose threads and rough patches so in actuality it’s probably about a three. I liked it nonetheless , and thus four stars. Rest In Peace, Terry Pratchett. GNU.

I'm crying.
It's the end of an error and the final book published by a magical man for a magical world.
The book, although unfinished, is anything but.
It is an amazing perfect punctuation on the life and work of Mr Pratchett and from the very beginning feels like one final hora.
Constantly changing world that started in such an old God fantasy way with The colour of magic and even though the world grows and evolves along with all the characters, not once does it feel wrong or out of place, and not once does it lose its magic.
The real colour of magic is what this world has and can bring to perspective on everything.
Rest in peace Mr Pratchett, and I can't wait to see and read and meet everyone again when, not of, I go back around again.
Thank you.

This is probably one of Sir Terry Pratchett's (RIP), weakest novels, but it still warrants 4 stars.

I approached this with trepidation. Raising Steam had been okay, and better towards the end, but it was clear in that book that Sir Terry's illness was taking its toll and that was so sad. So anyway, I was afraid this would have the same problem. But I'm so glad to be able to say that I was wrong. Maybe it's not Pratchett at the top of his game, but it's got the classic feel to it, even lacking any final polish.

I never get tired of the Nac Mac Feagle, and think that since the day he invented them, Pratchett must have had so much fun coming up with hilarious names for them.

Every author has to have a final book. I think Pratchett could be proud of this being the last one he left us.

Great Stephen Briggs narration as usual. I love his voices for the Nac Mac Feagle.

Tiffany Aching must confront the elves again when Granny Weatherwax passes on and leaves the not being in charge of the witches to her. Come interesting internal politics leads to longer term issues but in the end the problem is resolved.
