A Hat Full of Sky
Terry Pratchett
This is a second book about Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men.
As with the first book the writing is simpler and the world more real than is usual in a Discworld story.
There’s no real need to go into any detail of the plot, it should suffice to say that I think this is top rank Pratchett.
It’s funny, it’s moving, it’s deep and it feels full of truth.
I recommend it without hesitation.
If he can take the form he’s shown with these Young Adult books and apply them to a full blown Discworld book, he’s going to have a masterpiece on his hands.
I should note though – I get the feeling he’s getting ready to let some of his beloved characters die.
