I Get very emotional with this book. I find the story so deeply touching and feel so strongly about every character in it. It feels like a perfect ending that you wish would never end. 

This is one of those stories that you finish and feel like your heart has been trapped in the story and it will take some time to emotionally detach. You feel full and empty at the same time. 

It has deep life lessons, complex social commentary, and numerous laughs. I think it is heavier than the previous Tiffany books with significantly less whimsy. However it is moving and wholesome and tense and beautiful. 

I only wish I could have more Terry Pratchett. No other author comes close. Truly one of a kind. The man has virtually created his own genre of writing because no other series compares.

So sad to let this series go. I wasn't sure about this one at first as I wrongly predicted how it was going to go. Terry Pratchett never fails to surprise me with his determination not to go down the obvious path. Even the 'villainous' characters turned out to have some spark. Tiffany has meant so much to me over the past couple of months and I don't think that will ever really go away. I didn't think I could ever love another witch more than Granny Weatherwax but here I am. 

I will also add that I love Preston with my whole heart.
