Pratchett is always enjoyable for all ages.

This was one of Pratchett's best books! While most of his work is mostly just fun with humorous philosophical insights with many plot digressions, this one has a tightly written plot dealing seriously with the issue of prejudice and how it resides in all of us and is capable of breaking through in anyone (including the heroine). This is not to say this is simply a serious novel - how could it be when it contains the nac Mac Feegle, the wee free men who fear nothing (except maybe the "tappin' o' the toes" or the "foldin' o' the arms")? This would be a great book for discussion in a youth book group. Another top notch book from Pratchett - I'm certainly going to miss his books.

Less frenetic humour (but still lots) and more depth and complexity. Coming of age in terms of responsibility.

While not nearly as funny as the earlier Aching novels, I Shall Wear Midnight is still an hilarious work by a master comedian. I would recommend these books to anyone, but parents do beware, as the sexual humor gets more and more overt as Tiffany gets older.

I've read all of Pratchett's work, but I've especially enjoyed his subseries of Tiffany Aching books. This ends that subseries, and starts to tie up Pratchett's body of work. In this story, Tiffany must face her strongest, vilest enemy yet, and while she has the help of the Nac Mac Feegles and a few other, more senior witches, it's her battle. Great story, lots of humor. It can stand alone, but why should it? Read them all.

Read as part of our sci-fi club. I think I've read every one of his books, others hadn't and wanted to try. This novel was listed in some places as Young Adult - I'm not sure why, unless it was because the main characters were a young teenage witch and her friends. At any rate, they did mix it up with a number of adults, and were confronted with some serious life and death moments, so definitely not “juvenile”. There was also a fair amount of sexual bantering back and forth too, and, typical of this series, a lot of jokes and humourous asides, as well as some pretty bad puns. If you haven't read any of these, try one out, especially one of the earlier ones – more action and fun in them.

I love the story of Tiffany and the Feegles. You have to have read the first three to appreciate this one, though; it's about Tiffany growing up into an adult role, kind of happy-sad that way. Though the first three stories were sharper and more adventure-heavy, this one is more along the lines of character development and, maybe, feeling your age upon you.

I really like the Tiffany Aching novels. She's a very likeable witch.

The Nac Mac Feegles (wee freemen) are back and are still one of my fave bits of Prachettomania. As for the plot and Tiffany, well, they're OK. I honestly believe someone helped Sir Pratchett write (or transcribe) this one. The effort is a fine one, but at times the insightful, understated, plonking wit of our beloved Discfather seems muted (and it is here that I suspect unbilled assistance is responsible). Still the worst of Pratchett is better than any other humorous fantasy you can find and is a match for most humor or fantasty of any kind. If you haven't read Pratchett start with Wyrd Sisters or Guards! Guards! or if you are preteen perhaps A Hat Full of Sky.

Tiffany Aching's fourth adventure brings her up to the level of her predecessors. She's previously taken on the Queen of Faerie with a frying pan, contended with an immortal spirit out to give her everything she could possibly want (and nothing at all that she needed), and melted an amorous Winter, but now she has to face life as a jilted lover...oh, and deal with the persistent idea that keeps cropping up every few centuries: witches must burn. There's a lot of detail about what witches do that's old hat (no pun intended) to longtime Pterry fans like myself, but will likely be deeply insightful to newer readers. On a similar note, there's a lot of cameos from recurring characters (Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, for two) and a few brief appearances from someone that hasn't been seen in Discworld for many, many years. In this case, it's a sort of sop to long-time readers, and probably a tad confusing to new ones. In summary, Tiffany proves herself a strong, capable witch who knows to do what needs doing, and that "good" is not the same as "nice," much like Granny Weatherwax before her, but also allows herself to be a social human being, precisely unlike Granny Weatherwax, and, as usual, the Nac Mac Feegles provide comic relief, unasked for (and explicitly forbidden) assistance, and an unhealthy dollop of violence. Not Pterry's finest work, but good all the same.
