I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett

adventurous emotional
Liked this one better than Wintersmith (did still have an edge of victim blaming as a holdover, but way less than Wintersmith). I'm also a bit tired of the way witches need to do stuff on their own/prove themselves. IDK if it's just because I'm older now, but I don't know if that's the inspiring feminist message Pratchett means it to be.

I did like the focus on doing the hard work to help other people who are easily forgotten or make tough decisions as what witchcraft really is. I also liked how the book focused on how social outsiders are hurt by witch hunts. Oh, I also thought the theme of having to deal with an old crush who's now into someone else was a pretty good theme to come up in a YA book.

I thought the ending would be a bit more exciting, but that's Terry Pratchett books for you.
