Tiffany Aching is going ‘into service’: to be a lady, no less, a maid in a big house. At least, this is what she tells her parents.

Really, Tiffany is going away to learn magic.

But making friends with fellow witches is always difficult when an invisible-being-that-cannot-be-killed takes over your body – stealing money, and threatening violence.

Tiffany must use all her witchy cunning to reclaim what’s hers. Luckily, she has a bit of help. What’s tiny, Scottish and blue all over? A Nac Mac Feegle of course – the rudest type of fairy, and handy to have in a tight spot . . .

‘Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters’

"Pratchett's ear for dialogue is superb . . . His deep feeling for landscape, animals, kindness and courage make his adventures deeply satisfying as well as clever" (The Times)

"Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters" (Independent on Sunday)

"A great Pratchett strength is the sense that if the jokes . . . were dropped there would still be a good, engaging fantasy thriller here" (Independent)

"Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will be sky high" (The Sunday Times)

"Funny, typically humorous . . . A must for any Terry Pratchett fan . . . With its witty and slightly confusing plot-twists and hilarious dialogue, this is, without doubt, another great children's book" (Bristol Evening Post)

Double day publisher not as good

1 February 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've been collecting all these new discworld collection hardbacks now for a few years. I've noticed though that the 2nd half of the collection published by doubleday. Although have the same nice hardback covers as the 1st part of the collection, they dont have the nice bookmarks. I don't know why they chosen to remove them but you would have thought they'd have kept them to keep the collection consistent. Now half the collection has book marks and half doesn't. Not a very good move and kind of a let down. The book itself is a 5 star read but I'm knocking it down a mark for the publication differences with them choosing to drop the bookmarks, bring them back!

A Great read.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Bought on my Kindle, part of the Terry Pratchett Disc World series. Prompt service from Amazon as always. A brilliantly written tale about what happens when a child born - destined to become a wizard is found to be a girl - as natural heir there is no going back despite the fact it breaks tradition and the old Wizard has expired literally just prior to this revelation. Chaotic and hilarious its a brilliant book with many laugh out loud moments and well worth reading as a 'stand alone' or chronologically as part of the series.

If you wish to find a science fantasy, well written and carefully thought out which explores all aspects of life then look no fu

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had heard about the disc World Series by Terry Pratchett but had never read it. When I decided to read it, imagine my delight to find there are 24 or 25 novels to read! So yes I did, I took the first novel and started to read, to become familiar with the physics of the disc world and to start to understand what might be happening and why. Mr Pratchett created for himself a world, with its own physics with the forces of magic being high on the list. Having described the world, the disc world, pretty thoroughly in the first two books I found myself enjoying this science fantasy as Mr Pratchett's skills opened up and revealed themselves in his writing style. I am on book four and reading about the being called death and his apprentice, the book's progress is interesting as you may imagine. Equal rites is a very pleasant little story about wizards and witches and a woman trying to grow up and develop as a wizard in the "masculine by tradition" Wizard world. Because I have read the earlier books, it is interesting to follow this argument in the disc world. The book covers the process up to puberty roughly and stops there. I have no doubt that the female wizard will appear in a later book. I quite liked her so I will look forward to that.
The themes of the book are quite robust and do give the impression that they will last throughout the series of books, I am looking forward to the development of the different issues Mr Pratchett explores.

A great story that works on many levels

11 October 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is the follow up to "The Wee Free Men". Tiffany Aching is a witch and is starting to learn what that means in terms of responsibilities. She is also learning new skills; and unfortunately, she finds out the hard way that sometimes just because you can do something, doesn't always mean that you should do it.

This is a really great romp of a story by a master storyteller. The characters are normal people seen through a looking glass in a way that allows the odd to seem normal and for the normal to be held up to sometimes be a little odd. It sees the return of the "Nac Mac Feegle", a race of pictsies that are harder to kill than cockroaches, that spend their time, fighting, drinking and stealing. The story allows the various characters to be developed further and although each of Sir Terry's books can be read on it's own, this one is better read after the first book in order to best enjoy the way that they progress.

The story is suitable for younger readers, but contains a lot of references that will raise a smile on the face of most adults. It does a great job of bridging the gap between the the age groups and would appeal to almost anyone. I imagine that any young person that read this book and then went back to read it a few years later might well find more to enjoy, hidden in the pages.

A great addition to the series of Diskworld novels, and a wonderful story with some astute observations about people and the way that they behave.

Timely, with chocolate

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Susan Sto Helit is a favourite character, as is Lu Tze, the Sweeper (an unconventional history monk). Aided by the four horsemen of the apocalypse (did you know there are actually five?) and with a walk on appearance of Nanny Ogg, they come together to defeat the evil Auditors as they plot to end the world by bringing time to a standstill.
It's a rollicking tale, rushed onwards on the amazing imagination and Discworld Science that the late Terry Pritchett excelled at.

Brilliantly clever novel

18 June 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Brilliantly clever novel. I find that Terry Pratchett's books either leave me blown away by their ingenuity, subtle humour and wisdom - or I am left feeling he's copied a formula he's used before and I get a strong feeling of deja vue as I turn the pages. Thief of Time belongs to the first category as it's filled with strong characters, numerous twists and turns, and has a clever ending.

Fanzy Fix

and I love these particular books

27 April 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Terry Pratchett!! what a writer!! We were lucky to have him, and I love these particular books, they are often sold as a trio, and are very much about what they say they are about - through the difference in treatment between witches (women) and wizards ( men, of course)! It begins because a girl gets a wizards' staff, and goes from there. He has such a lovely light touch and an infectious sense of humour and of the ridiculous too, lovely. And its very rare for me to laugh out loud, but I did!

All of my Terry Pratchett reviews are biased.

By far my favourite author. So much so I can pickup any discworld novel and follow it with ease.
I would not recommend this as a first discworld read through.Read more

Incredulous

A new short history of time, death by chocolate and never forget rule one. But of course you will, so you will have to suffer the consequences.
