Summary

Tiffany Aching put one foot wrong, made one little mistake . . .

And now the spirit of winter is in love with her. He gives her roses and icebergs, says it with avalanches and showers her with snowflakes - which is tough when you're 13, but also just a little bit . . . cool.

And just because the Wintersmith wants to marry you is no excuse for neglecting your chores. So Tiffany must look after Miss Treason, who's 113 and has far too many eyes, learn the secret of Boffo, catch Horace the cheese, stop the gods from seeing her in the bath -

'Crivens!'

Oh, yes, and be helped by the Nac Mac Feegles - whether she wants it or not.

But if Tiffany doesn't work it all out, there will never be another springtime . . .

Critic reviews

In every sense fantastic
Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix
Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling . . . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book
Exhuberant energy and humour
Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement
Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books
Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives
Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought
He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy
Funny and winning as ever
All stars

Beautifully done. The ending made me laugh and then cry (if you’ve listened to them in order you’ll know - it’s not his cow.. or book). But another excellent snippet in the life of Tiffany Aching, growing up and being well on her way to becoming the hag of hags after Granny.

Just beautiful.

I usually prefer to read than to listen to Pratchett books because he writes beautifully. However, these new adaptations are amazing and in my head I cannot do justice to the Nac Mac Feegle. Tiffany is a hero, she can't seem to catch a break. But taking responsibility for your errors and righting what's wrong is what makes you into a good human. Not that Winter figured it out...

Winter is here, Summer is gone

Thoroughly enjoyed this third book in the Tiffany Aching series. We all need the Nak Mac Feegles in our lives.

Beautifully written and read.

I love how every now and again throughout the story how are little references to previous books and how the author links it to the real world. Truly remarkable.

Enchanting story
