Tiffany og hinir Wee Free Men eru mættir aftur og nú beinir Pratchett sjónum að nornaveiðunum. Hann gerir vel í að taka fyrirbæri úr mannkynssögunni og höndla þau með gagnrýnum augum Diskheims. Tiffany er nú orðin fulltíða norn og tekin Chalk, heimasvæði sínu, þar sem hún sinnir týpískum störfum nornarinnar sem stuðningsnet við samfélagið. Það fer hins vegar að bera á illvilja í garð hennar og annarra norna, hræðslu, rógburði og aðkasti. Brátt uppgötvar Tiffany að undirrót þessara breytinga er illt afl sem vaknar reglulega upp og magnar samfélagið gegn nornum. Nú er þessi kraftur fókusaður á Tiffany og hún verður að finna leiðir til að verjast honum sjálf - náttúrulega með aðstoð litlu bláu vina sinna.

I listened to the audiobook while I got it done, and I cried, though not from the pain of the needle. (  ) obahcypt | Apr 1, 2022 | This was in the library marked Adult Fiction but, knowing little about Terry Prtchett, when I checked on the Internet it's Young Adult. However, no harm for that. It's so well written that you tend not to notice it's simply written. And many instances of the wisdom that sometimes comes with age and is nevertheless held by a fifteen-year-old witch.. It's a well constructed scenario, a corner of rural England that isn't really England, an almost feudal society where they have photography, and witchcraft is respected. What is the Cunning Man meant to represent? An evil that can appear at any time? Or simply an element of horror to make the story less comfortable? jgoodwll | Feb 9, 2022 | I enjoyed it, but I didn't rip through it as I have Pratchett books in the past (which is less a failing on the part of the book, and more a lack of energy on my part). I loved the way that reader's interpretations of books is explored when two young women discuss a book of fairy stories they both read as children, and the fact that the pseudo love triangle wasn't sorted out by the aristocratic male dumping his aristocratic fiance to run off with the local working class female. And I very much liked the meta references to Tiffany being good with endings, such that Pratchett could congratulate himself on the way that the plot is tidied up. (  ) fred_mouse | Dec 13, 2021 | I love Terry Pratchett and Tiffany is one of my favorite characters, I can't wait for the next one. ( ) kevn57 | Dec 8, 2021 | no reviews | add a review
