Tiffany Aching, the young witch from The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith is back in a new adventure featuring Discworld characters both familiar to fans (such as Tiffany, the Wee Free Men, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg) and new (meet Wee Mad Arthur, the Nac Mac Feegle on the City Watch whose only previous appearance was a brief cameo in Feet of Clay, and city witch Mrs Proust - a fabulous Pratchett creation). Oh, and there's a magic book or two, a twist through time, a Cunning Man - and a Giant Man of chalk....

"Perfect Pratchett"
I've always loved the Discworld books and this one is no diffrent. The characters are as engaging, funny and, in some cases, mad as ever and the story is one you can really get into. It?s great to see how much Tiffany has grown since the fist time we met her (frying pan in hand) but how she is still very much the same person she?s always been.
"i shall wear midnight again"
having read many terry pratchett books, i was unsure about an audible version. the story would never be a problem, the narration could ruin it. but mr briggs is brilliant he brings the story alive you could almost see the wee free men. once i started listening i did,nt want to stop. a great listen
"A nice tale"
This is only my second audiobook, and I must say that I am hooked. The narrator takes you into the story and tells it so wonderfully. I am now looking at my back catalogue of Terry Pratchett books to see which one I want on audio.
"Pratchett at his best"
I love Terry's Pratchett's books and over the years I can only conclude that he is getting better ! I Shall Wear Midnight is a beautifully written narrative of a young witch finding her way in life and coping with the difficulties of relationships, responsibilities and the inevitable numerous meetings with Death. The book made me laugh and cry, and I listened to it twice - back to back - as I was sure that the second hearing would add even more colour - which it did. The chapters were the right length for me on my 30min commute. Highly recommended - a great listen.
"Another enjoyable book"
I really enjoyed this story. Pratchett's style and sense of fun really appeals to me. This was a nice listen late at night when I couldn't sleep
"A Pterry goodie"
A good book to end the series, darker in nature than the other three but Tiffany has grown up and it shows, shame to see it end as collectively they have all been good, but that I suppose is a matter of opinion.
And the narration by Stephen Briggs brilliant as usual, with the range of character voices he uses you would not think it is the same person.
"I Shall Wear Midnight -Excellent"
This book was engaging, witty and really entertaining...hightly recommend it if you like Terry Pratchett's writing. The narration was really well done and made the book even more enjoyable.

"Great thanks"
I love Trerry Pratchett, and Tiffany is the best. i can listern any time of the night and day, and even in the car when i am on my own. it stops being alone. thank you.
"The witch is back"
Terry pratchett has written another novel of the teenage witch Tiffany and the wee free men. It is fast paced and full of twists and turns. It is wonderful to be back on the turtle and having your head filled with feegles and shouts of crivens!
