Reviews with content warning for Animal death - Волният народец

This is my number 1 favorite book of all time. I have read it upwards of 50 times. It is my comfort book that I can pick up and open to any page and start reading. I know this book better than any other and yet I still cry every time I read it, and still feel my heart fill with every chapter. I have never felt so emotionally attached to characters and stories as I do with Tiffany and the feegles. I adore every Tiffany book but as this is the first, this is the one I read the most. It will forever hold a very special place in my heart. I miss Terry Pratchett very much and still mourn the loss of one of the greatest writers of all time. This book makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you think, and makes you marvel at his talent for writing diverse, loveable, and relatable characters. I will never in my life get bored of this story.

What a delight. I'm so glad I finally started the Tiffany Aching books. The chalk downs were a character in and of themselves. I loved Tiffany and Granny and the Wee Free Men. This book is a wonderful imagining of British folklore and fantasy.

I'm a diehard Pratchett fan and I really think the Tiffany Aching series is where he shines. This is a really great introduction to the series. Set on the Discworld but removed from a lot of the over-the-topness of the main series books, this follows Tiffany, a nine year old would be witch, as she sets out to get her brother back from the queen of the fairies. The main plot is carried and deepened as Tiffany remembers stories of her grandmother, who was definitely not a witch, Granny Aching that help her reckon with the world around her and human nature.

I would rate it higher if I could. I love Pratchett, but honestly I thank him so much for giving us Tiffany. (And the Feegles)
