Definitely unfinished and unpolished (for obvious reasons) but decent bones nonetheless.

I cried when

Granny dies

which happens a lot earlier than I expected, and I cried at the end, knowing it's Terry Pratchett's final novel. I love the Tiffany series, and it's just such a perfect ending.

So, this is it.  I read my first Discworld books sometime in high school, and then seriously decided I was going to read the whole series back in 2014.  And here I am, a decade later, finally finished with the last book.  This was... a really great book.  This was a really great series.  

There's more than character development in this series.  There's world development. And I don't mean that in the usual sense, but in the sense that the world of Discworld, the world itself, evolved and changed, and started at one place and ended in another, and there was just a whole character arc, I guess you could say, for the world itself as Terry Pratchett evolved and changed as an author.  And it's really something beautiful to behold, when you put it all together like that, from the beginning to the very end.  

I'm going to miss this world. I'm going to miss having new books to come to in it.  But I'm absolutely going to revisit it. How could I not, when I can see the whole picture now?

This was achingly sweet and a crowning achievement. It sounds like it was published posthumously and quite possibly some of it was finished after Terry Pratchett’s death as well. It’s a great story and a very quick read. I enjoyed it immensely.

No need to say that this got emotional pretty fast, and now I'm finished, I can't stop crying.


I'm not even close to having read all the Discworld-books, but I have read all the ones about Tiffany Aching. And even though this book is clearly unfinished, there is nothing to do but love it.




A worthy goodbye from Sir Terry Pratchett - a true master of the written word.

The star that is missing is just for everything else he could have aded to the book, if the time was given to him. But it's still a very good entry.

There is so much, yet so little, I want to say about this book. It all boils down to you should read it.
