There will be a reckoning…

New Tiffany Aching and here I thought "I shall wear midnight" was the last one... *heavy breathing*edit: This little treasure came to me yesterday and it already made me cry (first 10%) I hope the end will be worth all the tears since this is truly the last one. :(The Shepherd's Crown brings to a close both Tiffany Aching's witch arc, and the Discworld as a whole. Like Raising Steam, it is about the arrival of a new era, and the fading of the old.Sadly, like Raising Steam, it is not Pterry at his height. It starts powerfully, but the novel as a whole is a sketch, a half-finished painting, where events come and go without the emotional heights and depths that should accompany them. Particularly the arc of Nightshade, which should have been an extremely
It could have been a lot worse.As Rob Wilkins explains in the afterword, Terry Pratchett hadn't actually finished writing this when he died. Pratchett's working methods, as described by Wilkins, involved writing scenes and piecing them together, finding the story, and then rewriting and adding scenes. Here we have something that isn't quite the end process of that. We have something that can be read, coherently, from beginning to end as a narrative, but is not quite formed.There is, as Wilkins
Upon the death of Granny Weatherwax, the elves seek to invade the realms of man once again. Can Tiffany Aching rally the other witches of Lancre and The Chalk and protect her two steadings (and the rest of the world)?Here we are, the book Terry Pratchett was refining when Death finally showed up to claim him. PUT THE MANUSCRIPT DOWN, PRATCHETT. YOUR WORK IS DONE, or something to that effect. As a result, it doesn't quite feel finished but it was enjoyable just the same.The Shepherd's Crown is a
This really isn't a five star book, but I can't bring myself to give Terry Pratchett's final Discworld novel anything but five stars. If you've read every other Discworld novel, then you're going to read this. If you're new to Discworld, then read the other forty plus books first. As for the plot. Death makes an early appearance. I'm bereft. Bereft.
If anyone has been reading this far in the series, they must be very, very sad that Sir Terry passed away, and this, his very last novel, is all we have left. I am sad. I am very sad. And after the first few chapters, I got even more sad, because he was writing his own requiem in these scenes.It was scary and sad and so appropriate. And then it passed, to flow into Tiffany Aching's fifth, delightful, tale. If you're familiar, you know she's no longer a witch's apprentice, she's a full witch and
I discovered Discworld at age 11. I read the Rincewind novel, Sourcery (Discworld #5), first and read the rest of the series out of sequence, picking up whichever second hand paperback was available at this small, hidden bookshop that no longer exists (its now a butchers). I used to read entire Pratchett novels in a day and burned through the series in no time. I was a Discworld fanatic. My love of the series continued through high school and into my 20s, though something had changed at the turn
