the_story_girl's review against another edition
4.0
I still can’t believe that these books are considered ‘children’s books’, which makes so many Discworld readers skip them. That is unfortunate, because Tiffany’s storyline is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

These are my favorite TP books. For me they are all the best of Disc World told thru the voice of a girl.

This series (consider this a broad review of the whole Tiffany Aching series up to this point) was recommended by a friend (is he a goodreads friend? I don't know) as part of a thank-you and tribute to Terry Pratchett at the time of Pratchett's death. The friend, who (like me) works as a pastor/minister/church leadership type, wrote about the Tiffany Aching series as his single favourite metaphor-for-ministry piece of literature. I was intrigued. I read the whole series during the month of May and could not agree with him more. Such a beautiful, tender, passionate, wise account of what it is for one deeply caring, not-quite-fitting-in kid to take on a caring vocation with all its joys and costs. I am a sucker for a coming of age story anyway, but this series had me laughing and weeping and highlighting and nodding along in (sometimes rueful) recognition. I can see that it has faults, and I can't guess how it would go for someone for whom it did not feel like such a perfect encapsulation of their own vocation, but for me its beauty covers over its faults many times over. It is for sure destined to become a regular, maybe even annual, reread for me.
