Book Review: Courting Tiffany Aching
Summary: 4 Stars
Tiffany is working for Miss Treason and learning the trade of witchcraft when she makes a mistake at a local ceremony. That mistake gained some unwanted, and possibly very dangerous, attention. The spirit of Winter, called Wintersmith, is now interested in Tiffany. It begins to woo her. First in simple ways and then in bigger and bigger ways.
To make matters worse, Tiffany gets reassigned. How can she keep learning and still deal with the unwanted attention from Wintersmith? Luckily she has the acquaintance of many wise witches including Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax. But can even their council guide her in keeping the story straight, keeping herself human, and preventing a new ice age? You will have to read to find out.
Tiffany Aching is a great way for the author to keep visiting his favorite character (Granny Weatherwax). Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegles (the small, blue-skinned pictsies) are wonderful characters and I hope we continue to see more of them. Pratchett fills the book with his unique brand of observation and reality. This may be the best of the Tiffany books as we really see her character develop and handle a lot of unusual situations. This is a must read fro Pratchett fans and Diskworld fans. Check it out.
