She is left to struggle with it internally, while everyone else is trying to figure out what is going on externally. and at one point, when she does, something called a hiver comes in and takes her over. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to her more experienced witch mentors, she has learned the trick of stepping out of her body. and I Shall Wear Midnight is the last of the Tiffany Aching stories, so I was quite impressed by the set-up.Anyhow, this story begins with Tiffany getting ready to leave home so she can train to be a witch. she says the line "When I am old, I shall wear midnight". and actually, at one point in this audio. Hat full of sky refers back to Tiffany's beloved Grandma Aching. I've yet to see him miss the mark on the name. He'll probably always get a 5/5 from me on that. Won't name any names though )Plot:First off, I LOVE Pratchett's ability to name his books. It was clever, and allowed for another of my all-time favorite Pratchett characters to show up. mainly because he often wraps them up in the lore of discworld, which is something I don't know!This ending was no exception. Sometimes I see them coming, and sometimes I don't. mostly because you can't wait to see what the Feegle do next!Ending:I love the solutions that Pratchett comes up with for his books. she is dead serious, but kind of nutty-goofy in her own way, and prone to kindness when it least suits her.Quality of Writing:I find that all of the Tiffany Aching series is fast flowing and entertaining.
I like her quite a lot.Granny Weatherwax: Probably my favorite Pratchett witch. While Tiffany herself is not one of my favorite Pratchett witches (that would be Weatherwax and Ogg to name a few), she is likable, and the fact that she's supplemented by the Nac Mac Feegle helps to offset her seriousness.Nac Mac Feegle: ACH CRIVENS! The Nac Mac Feegle are hilarious, and in each book in this series (especially in the audio versions) I found myself laughing out loud at them.Miss Level: She's a very interesting witch and I am quite amused that so many young witches were frightened by her.
With the help of Miss Level, Granny Weatherwax and the unforgettable Nac Mac Feegle, Tiffany begins the battle of her life, to win her body back from the hiver.Character Likability:Tiffany: Tiffany is a determined, logical young girl who is 100% Pratchett Witch material. Unfortunately, Tiffany's apprenticeship is disrupted by the arrival of a hiver, a parasitic creature that takes over a person's being and causes them to behave VERY badly. Story Title: 5/5Plot: 4/5Characters: 4/5Ending: 4/5Synopsis:Tiffany has begun her journey as a witch, starting out as an apprentice to Miss Level, a rather odd witch who usually drives her apprentices off through no fault of her own.
