I didn't like it as much as Wintersmith. It was funny starting out, but the plot took over, and I wasn't much for the plot. I just want the funny!

I’ve read two Tiffany Achings before (yes, I’m WAY out of order) and at this point it feels masochistic reading Tiffany Aching. I feel like Pratchett was grieving someone he loved very much and that love comes through so strongly in these books. Pretty sure I teared up at least a dozen times, but I obviously LOLed too, I’m always down for some good wizard trash talk.
If you’ve had a grandmother or maybe parental or elder figure that you’ve lost this is either a content warning or a recommendation for catharsis. For me it was catharsis crying, especially the next up book, they are beautiful.
I think the next up in the series is stronger than this one in regards to the story and grief, but this is still excellent. Who can’t fall just in love with Tiffany or the Wee Free Men?
YA for themes around critical thinking, trusting yourself and processing death of a loved one - which I think all translate absolutely perfectly to adult, I definitely benefit from these themes. And this does not read like YA to me at all, especially if you’ve read Discworld it’s the same tone as the others.

A coworker gave me this book to borrow and read, and I was honestly pretty reluctant. But I ended up enjoying it much more than I expected. My coworker also gave me the next book in the series, so I’ll start reading that one next.
I want small blue men in kilts to do my chores for me.
Verrrry humorous fantasy book about a young witch and some wee wonderfully funny men.
