Slow but fun read. This review was first published on Kurt's Frontier. Winner of the 2011 Andre Norton Award Synopsis: Tiffany Aching is a young witch now taking up her responsibilities after years of studying with senior witches. The witchcraft she performs in her hometown of Chalk isn’t flashy—merely the work of caring for the needy. Someone or something is igniting fear. There are dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Adding to the complications, the elderly Barron she was taking care of has died upon giving her some money as a gift. To those who don’t like witches to begin with, it seems sinister. The Barron’s son is about to get married, and his mother-in-law is one of those suspicious of witches. Tiffany stands between good and evil, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Review: This is my first time reading the late Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld series. This is the fourth of five books about Tiffany Aching, a young witch who has apparently graduated to her full responsibilities for the little town of Chalk. She deals mostly with ordinary problems, caring for the sick and elderly. She tries to keep the Wee Free Men (also called the fightin’ Nac Mac Feegles) from causing too much trouble when they try to help her. Jealousy awakens the Cunning Man, a spirit of a witch hunter. Now witches are falling under suspicion for the surrounding ills, and people blame Tiffany for the death of the old Barron whom she was caring for. Chilling drama combines with delightful humor as fast as one can say, “Something wicked this way comes.” While a bit slow, it was a fun book to read.

Good not great. It may be helpful to reread the previous Tiffany Aching books before reading this one. It felt like continuation of a story, told mostly to tell a story and let a beloved world grow a little more. It did not have the humor I've grown to expect from the discworld, although all the books concerning witches tend to be a bit more somber. Worth a read for those already hooked on the discworld, but not a book to hook new fans with.

I Shall Wear Midnight review. Another gem from Pratchett! Tiffany shines as a young woman, a witch on the Chalk who is just starting to understand what it means to be an adult. Endearing and masterfully written, with Pratchett's quirky sense of humor enhancing every chapter.

Spooky. A bit more grown up and darker than the other Aching books, this one has a good bit of ghost story to it. It fits into a horror genre just as Feet of Clay fits into a murder-mystery genre. Aside from Discworld I tend get annoyed with how the Fantasy style of writing can sound more like a screenplay than a novel so I enjoyed this well done plot.

A bit darker than usual. This book, while I certainly recommend it to those who know Tiffany, doesn't contain as much of the usual funny/punny humor of a "normal" Discworld book. It's more of a tie up the loose ends sort of book.
